Outlaw Cowboy (2016)
“Hard-ons, guilt, and—damn it—fear were not great sleep aides. Then there was the fact that he knew he had to make a decision about Tyler’s offer.
There wasn’t a decision to make—the decision was made. The only option was leasing the land, and swallowing some pride for the sake of cash flow. Tyler said a couple of grand. All Caleb had to do was give up a pasture he barely used as it was. With Shaw’s meager herd, it wouldn’t put a dent in the day-to-day.
Caleb had to take it if he had any... prayer of proving to Mel he could do this on his own. He would get his name on that deed. His. Mel had a different life now. She had to trust him enough to transfer it over to him. An actual Shaw. She’d taken Sharpe’s name. She’d left.
This was Shaw land, and maybe he’d wasted a lot of years taking that for granted, enough so that after Dad’s accident, Mel’s name was put on everything, but this place was the only thing—these fields, those mountains, his horse—that kept him going when he was so damn determined his own soul was against him.MoreLess
