worse.
    “Honey, Bo doesn’t frighten me. I’ve been around this family since all of those kids were in diapers. After I reminded him of that, he was happy to help as well.”
    Summer couldn’t stop the laughter from slipping out. She liked Agnes. She seemed like a firm, take-charge woman. It was just what Summer needed.
    “Come on, Summer. Let me show you where the conference rooms are downstairs. That’s where Remy and Kane hold the show-and-tell meetings with the clients. It gives them more space to move around in instead of using your personal office.”
    As Summer talked with Agnes, she was glad she had decided to go into the office. Although Remy and Kane were out for the day, Summer was able to meet with some of the other employees. She loved the instant approval she received from everyone she met. There was nothing more refreshing than walking into an office and being welcomed with opened arms. She knew without a doubt that by accepting the job, she had found her home. Now if she could only smooth out the disaster that was her personal life.

Chapter 10

    Four hours had passed by when Summer finally climbed behind the wheel of her car. She had received separate calls from Dalton, Denver, and Dillon during that time span. Their behavior had begun to change almost overnight. It might have had something to do with the fact that she hadn’t asked any of them to go into town with her. This was only the second time since moving to Whispering Mountain she had traveled anywhere alone. Now they were kindly keeping tabs on her.
    As much as she wanted to yell at them for calling, she didn’t. They had all called to check on her and make sure she was doing okay. The fact that all three of them cared about her well-being was satisfying. She had relayed the same message to each of them. She was fine. Summer couldn’t understand what was with the sudden urge to become so protective. She’d try to get more out of them when she returned to the house.
    She hadn’t expected to stay as long as she had at her job, but she couldn’t stop herself from jumping in and looking over some of the projects that were already going on. She really loved her career. She had stayed so long that she had decided to pass on stopping by her house to check on the remodeling. Instead, she would go and see Spring before heading back to the house she temporarily shared with Dalton, Dillon, and Denver.
    Summer was so deep in thought as she guided her luxury car through the tight switchbacks of the winding road, unaware until the last moment that a car was swiftly closing the distance between them. A flash of red grabbed her attention. She eyed a speeding red car switching lanes, as if to pass her. It made her a little nervous and her palms began to sweat as she swerved her car just a bit but regained control. Unfortunately, her nerves were rattled.
    She slowed down. If this person had somewhere they needed to be, she was happy to let them pass. Except, as the red vehicle pulled alongside of her, an eerie feeling came over her. Summer could swear she felt other the driver staring in her direction. Although she was now frightened and creeped out, she couldn’t be sure of it because the windows were tinted pitch black.
    As if compelled, she turned in the direction of the red car. She was so rattled by the other driver she slowed down a little more. When she slowed down, so did the red car beside her.
    What the hell?
    Her heart was pounding in her chest as she pressed the accelerator, speeding up. The red car beside her did the same. She pressed the accelerator even harder. The red car matched her speed. Summer slammed on the brakes. So did the red car.
    Fuck!
    “Leave me the fuck alone!” she screamed, banging her fists on the steering wheel. Tears began pouring down her face. She’d gotten turned around on the winding road. She didn’t think she was far from the turn-off that would take her to the ranch. Summer pressed the accelerator. If this
