Lone Star Lover
“Only a few cars were parked along Main Street near Barney’s, Appleton’s only bar, as Jake Malone pulled his truck to the curb in front of the sheriff’s office. Most likely people were sticking close to home still doing holiday things with their families. Jake had stopped by his mother’s place on Christmas morning to take her a crystal giraffe to add to her miniature animal collection. She’d thanked him for the unwrapped present, gave him another loud red scarf, and then she’d downed a Bloody Ma...ry while he’d had a cup of coffee, and that had been that. So much for Christmas.
He opened the truck door just as a brisk wind whipped down the center of the street and stung his face. He jammed his Stetson down firmer on his head and then tugged up the collar of his brown bomber jacket, wishing he’d remembered the damn scarf. Out here in West Texas where the wind could cut through a man, he’d have been willing to wear the garish color. Not in Houston, though, where he lived and worked.Jake spotted Harding’s white cruiser alongside the old brick building that housed the sheriff’s office.MoreLess
