we’re not careful,” Jace said to her. She swung around to face him.
“First of all, I’m not crazy, and I know how to use my weapon. Secondly, you came at me first and I was defending myself. Maybe you’re just pissed off because I was able to draw my gun on you first and held my gun to your neck.”
“What?” Sparrow asked.
“She got the pull on you?” Ridge asked, chuckling.
“She didn’t get the pull on me. I let her make that move. Ask Beck where she was when he got there. Underneath me, arms above her head, pleading for mercy,” Jace said to her, looking her body over at the same time his brothers were.
She should have been bent out of shape, pissed off and ready to hit him—hell, all of them. But instead, her pussy spasmed and her breasts felt full and aroused. What in God’s name? She exhaled and threw up her hands.
“Jerko,” she said aloud as the sheriff’s truck came to a stop and the sheriff got out.
Holy shit, another tall, badass-looking guy. What was with this town?
The introductions were made and the sheriff eyed her over and listened as Jace started to explain what happened and she interjected when necessary. Was it just her, or was the sheriff seemingly amused at this?
“Listen, we can go round and round about this all freaking morning. I have things to do. Can you please let these men know that I have a license to carry and am more than capable of handling my weapon?”
The sheriff looked at Jace. “She is legit. Let’s cross this off as a misunderstanding and be grateful that no one got hurt,” the sheriff said to them.
“Thank God, finally. If I had to listen to these two argue any longer, my head would explode,” Beck stated, throwing his hands up in the air.
“Maybe he needs to learn some manners,” she whispered and then put her palm out for Beck to give her gun.
“ I need to learn manners?” Jace asked, practically yelling at her.
She took the gun from Beck and smiled. She glanced at Jace. “Yes, it’s done like this,” she said and looked back at Beck.
“Thank you for holding onto my gun while you confirmed that I have a license. Sorry for the inconvenience of the situation. Have a nice day.” She turned toward the sheriff. “I appreciate you taking the time to come out here and resolve the situation, putting certain people at ease about my carrying a firearm and being more than capable of using it.” She glanced at Jace, sending him daggers with her eyes. His brother’s snickers didn’t go unnoticed.
“Have a nice day, and I suppose you’ll be by shortly, as Helena explained to me.”
“Yes, ma’am, planning on stopping in around noon time.”
“Very well. See you later, and thank you again.” She walked down the steps and tried to control her breathing. She couldn’t believe how those men, all of them, made her feel—aside from the sheriff, who looked amused by the situation. She told herself not to look back, but she had to. My God, how were they so damn good-looking and fierce?
When she did, all of them but the sheriff were watching her. She saw Sparrow squint and she quickly looked away and made it to her cottage. As soon as she was inside, she exhaled and then burst out laughing. My God what have I gotten us into by moving here? She laughed as she made her way to the bathroom to shower. She would need to warn Lois about the event this morning and the impending meeting with the sheriff. This was going to be one hell of a Monday.

“Well, cousins, looks like you just pissed off our new neighbor,” Sheriff Ford Brazos said to them. Beck chuckled. “You’re not kidding,” he added.
“What the hell makes her capable of carrying a Glock like that? You sure she’s trained enough?” Jace questioned.
His cousin Ford licked his lower lip. “She was a cop in New York City. I’d say she was trained enough, don’t you?” he asked. Jace’s eyes widened.
“A cop?” Sparrow asked first.
“Yup, and from what I
