Courted by a Cowboy-Cowboy Crazy

By Vanessa Devereaux

This story was first published by Evernight Publishing in 2013 as part of the Love Cowboy Style trilogy.

Whitney James was at a crossroads in her life. After a scary incident in the classroom where she teaches high school English, she flees Chicago and heads back to where she was raised in Missoula, Montana. Thinking that maybe a career change is what she needs, she attends a first year law school lecture and sees Colt Robson. Whitney used to date Colt’s son Mark, in high school. Seeing Colt again, but this time older, and with just as much sex appeal, she realizes that she’s always had a crush on him.

Now divorced, Colt is immediately smitten with the older and curvier Whitney. Will she accept his invitation for dinner and if so, will she be willing to be courted by a romantic, old-fashioned cowboy?

Chapter 1

Whitney ran her fingers back and forth around the outer edge of the steering wheel while trying to lessen the rapid beat of her heart. The last time she’d had sweaty hands was when…well, actually, she’d never had them before. She took two successive swallows and glanced at the dark brown building housing the law school department. She reached for the bottle of water on the passenger seat, lifted to her mouth, and took three long gulps. The temperature wasn’t overly hot, and she wasn’t thirsty, but the inside of her mouth felt parched.

Sweaty palms and dry mouth were both sign that she was nervous. She tried get out of her car, but suddenly both her legs felt like they’d been filled with cement.

She banged the sterling wheel with the heel of her right hand, angry with herself for becoming the indecisive person she’d turned into these last few months. The victim’s counselor had assured her it wasn’t her fault. Everyone suffering trauma went through this phase. Whitney rested her forehead on the steering wheel. She’d thought coming home would help, that thinking about a new career might shake her out of the funk she’d been in. She considered starting the ignition and backing out of the parking space but then realized that this was it. It was now or never. If she drove away she’d probably never find the nerve to return a second time. And this was after all, just a class to check out if law was something she actually wanted to study. Before giving it any more thought, she grabbed her purse, got out of the car, and headed toward the building.

This is a crossroads.

Not her terminology but her mother’s. Maybe she was right.

Not everyone reached a crossroads in their lives by being taken hostage for three plus hours, but she knew what her mother meant.

Something happens to everyone at some point and it forces them to look at things at little differently.

Whitney headed inside the building and froze on the spot at the sheer hustle and bustle she was witnessing. She’d forgotten what it was like to be in college. And it had to be change over time for all the classes because the place was packed with students milling around, and their
