    Chapter 1

    Cody reached down and fiddled with the radio while he was stopped at the traffic light.  He was on his way home from watching the Super Bowl with his two best friends and business partners, Steven and Justin.  Flipping through the country stations, he finally settled on Beer for my Horses by Toby Keith.  He grinned.  He wasn’t much of a horse guy, but the song always made him laugh.

    He glanced up and saw the light was green, and just as he stepped on the gas he was forced forward in his seat from the impact of the vehicle behind him.  Happy he was wearing his seat belt, he took stock for a moment, making sure he was okay.  Trucks were easily replaced.  Despite his billions, he drove a Ford F-350 and would until the day he died or they finally quit making the things.  A country boy was just as good as his pick-up truck.

    He opened the door and strode the few feet back to see a beat up blue pick-up with a pretty brunette behind the wheel.  He opened the door to the truck not able to take his eyes off her.  Are you okay?

    She nodded shakily.  I’ve never rear-ended anyone before.  I’m so sorry!  She reached into her glove box and pulled out her insurance information to give him.

    I don’t need that.  We’ll just keep this off the record Miss?

    Cassidy.  Amber Cassidy.  She stared into his dark eyes, unable to calm her shaking enough to get out of the car.  How had she been so stupid?  She knew her brakes were causing her problems and she’d planned to fix them, but she had decided to wait just one more month.  The wreck was her fault and she knew it.

    What do you do, Miss Cassidy?  Cody could see how shaken up the woman was, so he tried to talk to her about normal things to give her a chance to calm down.

    Her eyebrows drew together as she wondered what that had to do with anything.  It’s Amber.  I’m a riding instructor at the Galloping Horse Ranch.  She didn’t mention she owned it, but in a few months she’d pay off the last mortgage, and she would finally have gotten back everything her father had lost with his gambling debts.

    You sure you’re okay?  Do you need some help?  He held out his hand to help her to her feet.

    She ignored his hand and shook her head.  I’ll be fine.  I’m just a little shaky.  She took deep breaths trying to calm her racing heart.  What would he say when he found out she knew her brakes were bad, and she’d tried to put off fixing them? 

    He nodded and walked around to the front of her vehicle to assess the damage.  The back end of his truck was dented pretty badly, but her entire front end was crushed in.  Will it start?

    She pressed down the clutch and turned the key.  Nothing happened.  Doesn’t look like it.  She shook her head and picked up her cell phone.  I guess I’d better call a tow truck.  She sighed.  How much would this take out of the budget?  More than the brake job would have she was certain.

    Cody grabbed the phone from her hand.  I’ll take care of the tow.  He tucked her phone into his pocket to keep her from calling anyone.

    She gave him a blank look.  I just rear-ended you.  Aren’t you supposed to be yelling at me or something?  Why are you being so nice?  What was wrong with this guy?  Her negligence had just damaged his property and he acted as if it was his fault.

    He shrugged.  I guess I’m just a nice guy.  He grabbed his wallet, looked at a card, pulled out his own cell phone, and punched in a number.  I need a tow truck.  He gave their location and quickly pushed the end button putting his phone back into his pocket.  Where do you want it towed to?

    I don’t know.  She sighed heavily worried about the cost of the repairs.  Do you know of a good body shop?  A cheap body shop who did decent work was what she meant, but she didn’t want to come right out and say it.

    He raised an eyebrow.  It’s going to cost a lot more to have it repaired than it would to just replace it.  Let me buy you a new one and dinner.  He’d never actually offered to buy a woman a truck along with dinner before, but she was incredible, and he needed to make an impression.  Of course, if she accepted he’d do it and walk away never looking back.  He’d been used for his money too many times in the past to willfully walk into that situation again.

    She shook her head and stared at him in disbelief.  Let me get this straight.  I rear-ended you, messed up your truck, and you want to buy me a truck?  She needed to go to the doctor and get her ears checked.

    Why not?

    Aren’t you supposed to be yelling at me for not paying attention to the road or being an idiot or something?  What was with this guy?  Of course, this was much better than getting yelled at.  Probably.

    Would that make you like me better?  Would you go out with me if I yelled at you?  A little boy smile transformed his face. 

    She stared at him for a moment trying to figure out what was wrong with the man.  You want to know if yelling at me will make me go out with you?  She looked around wondering when the men he’d escaped from would take him back to the asylum.  Do you have some medication you’re supposed to take?

    He reached out and stroked her cheek.  "You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.  Can
