    Okay, so the man was fascinating.
    So was a porcupine. Both could sting a person if they weren’t careful.
    The horses in the huge trailer were whinnying and cutting up something fierce. Sheri wasn’t thinking about the mustangs, however, as Pace untied his horse from the trailer and stepped up into the stirrup. In one graceful move, he was seated in the saddle.
    Sheri lost her breath at the sight. It just whooshed right out of her. If ever there was a man meant for the saddle, it was this one. Wow. Tall and straight as a rod, he sat with a command that took Sheri straight back tothe heroes of the Old West. She just couldn’t shake that image of him. She swallowed and fought off the sigh that tried to escape her lips. Get a grip, girl.
    â€œCome on, Sheri, let’s get up to the fence so we can watch them unload.”
    â€œUm, right,” she said, blinking. Following Lacy to the corral, she climbed up onto the second rung and hung on to the top board with one hand. She drank the last of her now-cold coffee as she watched the action.
    The air crackled with energy as Pace rode his horse into the corral, then moved to the side as the truck doors were pulled open. When the first black mustang exploded into the pen, Sheri was immediately struck by what she was seeing. This was a part of history. Majestic and wild the proud horses galloped out of the interior of the transport trailer. Heads held high and manes flying, the horses were utterly beautiful as they trotted down the ramp and loped around the circle of the large pen. It was awesome. Awesome!
    â€œPace, he’s going to break these horses?” she gasped. Suddenly, it seemed a shame to tame something so untouched. The word break just held a connotation that seemed almost criminal when used in reference to these proud animals. They were supposed to be wild and free—
    â€œClint says no one can do what Pace can do. He’s the best there is at giving a horse manners while still letting it retain its dignity and character.”
    â€œSo that’s his excuse,” she said softly.
    â€œWhat’s does that mean?” Lacy asked, looking at her funny. Only then did Sheri realize she’d spoken out loud.
    She smiled. “He’s been reading the wrong book.”
    â€œHuh?”
    Sheri laughed. “From the way he was acting yesterday it’s obvious that Cowboy Pace has been spending too much time reading the book on horse manners and hasn’t even cracked open the one on cowboy manners.”
    Lacy looked from her to Pace and back again, a sparkle in her eye. “Well, Sheri, maybe he needs someone to open the book for him.”
    â€œOh, no, you don’t.” Sheri stepped down from the fence shaking her head. “I know trouble when I see it. That man might be easy on the eyes, but he’s a heartbreaker.”
    Lacy followed her as she walked away from the pen. “I don’t think so.”
    â€œCome on, Lacy, it’s written all over him. That guy would shy away from commitment quicker than…” Sheri paused and thought about what she’d just said.
    â€œYou?” Lacy finished, grinning as if she’d just won the cow chip toss. She always won the cow chip toss.
    â€œYeah,” Sheri admitted, turning back to look at her neighbor with an entirely new perspective.
    Sheri wasn’t one to think that the Lord paid much attention to her needs. In all fairness, she’d stopped trying to get any special attention from Him a long time ago. Lacy was the one with the direct line to Him. For years Sheri had coasted on her coattails when it came to all that. She’d be lying if she didn’t admit that it bothered her some. Maybe at one point a lot. But it wasn’t as if she was going to beg anybody for attention and certainly not God.
    Anyway, she understood that when it came to tryingto please the Lord, Lacy had that wrapped up. Lacy lived to please Him, and
