About the Author

Jace Brandon heard a truck backfire as it rambled by.  He punched his pillow and tried to go back to sleep, but it was too hot.  "Why did people have to come back here on his property to park and make out, or pass out drunk in their cars?  He was going to have to do something about that, starting tomorrow.  He was damned tired of it.  There was a million other places they could go. 

He slipped out of bed, wiping the sweat off his chest, and padded barefoot out to the front porch.  At least it was cooler out here.  Maybe he’d just grab a blanket and bed down out here, he thought, when he heard a soft moan.  He shook his head.  If he had a couple kids out in his field making out, he was going to rope and tie them to their car!

He strode back inside, grabbed his flashlight, and went back out the door.  He swept the light around, but didn’t see any vehicle.  Maybe it was just the wind, he thought, turning to go back inside when he heard it again.  He jumped off the porch, and walked down the road, shinning the light on each side.  Someone was out here and he was determined to find him or her.

He hopped on one foot when he stepped on a sharp rock.  Besides being hot and miserable, it was only two in the morning and he’d had a busy day bailing the hay he’d cut the day before.  He wanted to get it done before it rained, and now he wished it would.  Maybe it would cool off this blasted heat wave they’d been stuck in for more than a month.
