Redheaded Stranger: a Cowboy Love Story (Bluebonnet, Texas)
“Some of the cabinets had been left open, the pantry door hung open, and Darrach’s baby food was out of order. And, of course, his Tahoe was gone. He’d frantically searched their townhouse, every horrible thing that could go wrong running through his head on a perverse loop.
The townhouse wasn’t just quiet, it was dead. As if the very life had been sucked from it.
Quick calls to their credit card companies assured him she hadn’t taken off for Oahu without him. Another to her cell phone and he left a message after it automatically went to voicemail.
Next he tried the daycare. No, they hadn’t seen or heard from her since Darrach was supposed to be out all week, right Mr. Boudreaux?
He wandered around, lost and stunned that she hadn’t even left a note, before his legs finally gave way and he collapsed on the couch. He'd known something was wrong the minute he reached work. No one had called him, and no one knew anything about a break in any case.
The next time Alex checked his watch, almo...st an hour had passed.MoreLess
