call.”
    “This neighbor has a number of guns.” Her mother nodded
sagely.
    “It sounds like a good plan, but—”
    Vonnie looked around as if someone might be listening.
“We’ll sneak you off the ranch.” Her voice came out quiet. “The actor...what
was his name?”
    “Garret.” Megan’s stomach clenched as she imagined what the
whole McGatlin family thought about all this.
    “Yes, Garret. He said we could use his airplane.” Vonnie
licked her lips.
    “He did?” Was he anxious to get rid of her now that he’d met
her odd parents?
    “They said they would assist with anything we needed.” Brian
met her gaze. “You don’t look like you’re on board with this plan.”
    “I...”
    “It’s the only way to keep you safe.” Her mother smiled.
“While the stalker still thinks you’re here in Texas, and the McGatlins keep
searching for him, you’ll be snowed in with us for months.”
    Megan could never forget how remote and inaccessible the
community on the North Slope was. Dark days, snowstorms that buried houses, and
no communication with the outside world.
    “No.” Megan planted her feet on the porch and looked
directly into her mother’s eyes. “I’m safe here. I don’t want to take the
chance that he will follow me to Alaska.”
    Megan looked at her father. “I appreciate your coming here,
and I’d love it if you stayed indefinitely. But let’s consider your plan an
alternate. Okay?”
    “But your father and I—”
    “No, Vonnie.” Her dad sat back in his chair. “She’s right.
It’s her choice, and she has made a good point about the stalker knowing her
moves. He followed her to Texas, even though she was on a private plane.”
    Megan glanced out at the miles of land. Was he out there
right now watching her? She shook her head. “I should go take a quick shower
before Patty comes back for us. Unless you two would like me to drive you back
to the guest house.”
    “I’d like to sit and talk to your mother a while.” He
winked. “Then I’ll let you ladies haul me back on your way to town.”
    Megan could only imagine what her parents would be
discussing now. Hatching another plan that she’d hear about only after they
discussed it with all the McGatlins. And Inez. She stood. “Okay, can I bring
you anything?” She headed for the door.
    Her father patted his stomach. “Another one of Inez’s sweet
rolls would do me a world of good.”
    “I’ll get a few for you.” She smiled and headed inside. Inez
insisted on bringing rolls and coffee out, and shooed Megan out of the kitchen.
    Stepping into the living room, two figures by the stairway
startled her.
    Trey leaned on the banister, and Garret sat on the fourth
step up.
    “You know you’re not leaving, right?” Garret stood and
gestured for her to precede him upstairs.
    She looked at Trey.
    “We only agreed to help with their plan so they wouldn’t
think we were holding you hostage.” He placed his hand on her back and got her
going up the steps.
    Her men followed side-by-side, right behind her.
    “You know...” She bit back a smile. “They did have a very
well-thought-out plan.”
    “Maybe you misinterpreted what I just said.” Garret smacked
her butt. “You’re. Not. Leaving.”
    “But maybe I could sneak... Ouch!”
    Trey swatted her twice as hard as his brother had. “Ain’t
gonna happen, sweetheart.”
    A shiver coursed through her. Lord, she loved these men. The
thought of being anywhere but right here blew away like a cloud on a windy day.
“If you insist.” She reached the landing and headed toward her bedroom.
    “Uh uh. This way, baby.” Garret took her arm, Trey took her
other, and they led her into Trey’s bedroom. Garret closed the door. “Mom won’t
be here for twenty-five minutes, and that’s just enough time to shower.” He
waggled his brows at her as he started undressing her from the front, and Trey
did the same from behind her.
    “I guess I’m lucky...” Her breath caught as her
