months, Graham. And if a stranger comes to town, we all know it within hours with the renowned gossip line,” his mother said.
    “I agree,” Chelsea added.
    “But I’d suggest you tell the sheriff so he can have his men watching, too,” Dirk added.
    Graham put up his hands. “All right. I agree, but if anyone new comes to Frontier City, then she’s staying close to me until the new person is checked out.”
    “Do you ride?” Sam asked from the other end of the table.
    “Yes, but I haven’t been on a horse for a long time,” Gina said.
    “Get Graham to bring you over anytime. You can get back into riding. It’s the best way to see the countryside.”
    “Thank you, I will.” She glanced at Graham.
    He wished now he’d kept his mouth shut. He didn’t want her out of his sight, but he knew that was being unreasonable. Still, he definitely didn’t want his mother involved.
    “Mom, I agree with most of what was suggested, but I don’t want you going out with her. It might put you in danger.”
    “I understand your concern, Graham, but I must disagree. I’ll be fine and so will Gina. I do know how to take care of myself after all this time of living out west.” She frowned at him.
    “I’d like to join you and Gina tomorrow when you go shopping,” Chelsea said. All three men looked worried at her comment. “For goodness sakes, don’t go Neanderthal on us. I’m not going to take the twins. We’ll be fine.”
    “Maybe I’d better stay at the cabin. I’d never forgive myself if anything happened to any of you because of me,” Gina said. Tears ran down her cheeks.
    “Damn,” Graham mumbled under his breath. This time he couldn’t stop himself. He picked her up and put her in his lap. She nuzzled into his shoulder and cried hard and loud. Her soft body felt so good close to his, and he rubbed her back trying to calm her. When he glanced up, everyone at the table was staring at him with a rather dazed expression.
    “What?” he asked.
    “Nothing,” Dirk said, fighting not to smile.
    “It’s just that we seldom see your softer side,” Sam said with a glint of humor in his eyes.
    Graham glared at him, but still held Gina tight.
    In a few minutes she raised her head. Her pretty eyes were red and swollen.
    “I’m sorry. I can’t remember the last time I cried so hard. I’m embarrassed.”
    “Don’t be,” Graham’s mother said. “You’ve been yanked out of your familiar world, brought to a strange place to stay among strangers, and you fear for your life. I’m surprised you haven’t been hysterical or cried before now. Graham, I’m sure she’s tired. You’d better take her home.” She smiled at Gina. “I’ll pick you up at nine in the morning, and then we’ll stop at Chelsea’s to get her.”
    “Sounds good to me,” Chelsea said. “I’ll ask my babysitter to come stay with Katie and Matt tomorrow morning.” Chelsea stood. “Come on, lover boy, get our babies, and let’s head home. I’m tired.” She grinned at Dirk.
    “Hopefully not too tired.” He and the others laughed when she turned red. Dirk headed toward the small front bedroom where the twins were taking a nap.
    Gina hopped off Graham’s lap. Her cheeks were pink, too. Graham pushed back their chairs. “We’ll see you in the morning, Mom.” He quickly ushered her out and into his truck.
    He was silent the whole way home, but his thoughts were swirling. Her floral scent filled the small cab of the truck, and he couldn’t forget the feel of her delicate body clinging to him and touching the most sensitive parts of his body. He’d never sleep tonight with her right across the hall.
    It didn’t take long to get to the cabin. He walked around and opened her door to help her down, but she’d already done it for herself and took a leap toward the ground. He caught her before she could fall. His control snapped, and he pulled her tight against his front before her feet hit the dirt.
    “You could have broken an
