       “Give me your hand.”

      Taking a deep breath, Reggie reached out to take Angus’s hand.

      “I need you to turn and wrap your legs around me.”

      “Nope. Not happening,” she said, holding on to the tree with one arm, while squeezing his hand, his grip reassuring.

      “Come on, I know you’re tougher than that. You’re a one-woman ranch owner, determined to make this ranch work.”

      “I’m tired. I can’t do this anymore.”

      “Sure you can. You have a terrific kid who needs you.” Angus tugged her hand, gently guiding her to him. “All you have to do is wrap your arms around me and hold on. Think of it as a great big hug. Come on. I know you’ve been wanting to.”

      Despite the desperate fear of falling to her death, Reggie couldn’t resist the warmth of Angus’s voice. God, she wanted to hug him right then and hold on to him for dear life.

      “Almost there, Ranger.” Angus Ketchum shifted the truck into low gear and glanced across the seat at the German shepherd.

      The animal sat patiently in the passenger seat as they bumped across the curving gravel road. Ranger stared out the window, taking it all in without comment. Angus envied the animal’s calm. The fresh air and wide-open spaces would be good for the dog and hopefully for a washed-up soldier.
