Jesse raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
Jesse felt a flutter in her chest. No one had ever spoken to her like that before. "And what do you plan to do now that you've found me?" she asked, trying to sound sassy.
As she walked into the local saloon, the patrons couldn't help but turn and stare. Jesse Jane was a force to be reckoned with - a beautiful, smart, and fiercely independent woman in a town dominated by rough-riding cowboys and outlaws.
Jesse's heart went out to him. She knew what it was like to be judged and misunderstood. "We'll face it together," she said, taking his hand.
Alex smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I plan to get to know you better," he said, taking a step closer.
Alex looked at her, a glimmer of hope in his eyes. "You'd do that for me?" he asked, his voice filled with emotion.
As they pulled back, gasping for air, Jesse knew that her life was about to change in ways she never could have imagined. She was in trouble, and she was loving every minute of it.
