them down.
    Renegade flicked his head around and looked at Jacob. His big brown eyes and long lashes seemed too pretty on a bull who’d sooner throw you off his back than keep you close. “I’ve been thinking about Emerald Lake.”
    Jim Green tipped his hat back. “It came as a shock to hear that you’re going to sell it. We thought you were happy living in Bozeman.”
    Jacob focused on his dad’s ranch. The sun was dipping below the top of the mountains, casting deep purple shadows across the pine and spruce trees surrounding them. He pulled his hat low over his head. “It’s time for a change.”
    “That’s what you said ten years ago when you first left home.”
    Jacob didn’t say anything.
    “It’s been good having you around.”
    Six months ago, Jacob’s dad had survived a heart attack. He was fifty-six-years-old; too young to die or think that maybe he wouldn’t be around to enjoy the rest of his life. Jacob had stayed in Bozeman because of his father. And now it was time to leave.
    “I was speaking with Liam’s dad the other day. He’s worried about him. What do you know about the woman he’s living with?”
    Jacob sighed. “They’re not living together, dad. She’s Liam’s roommate. People can live under the same roof without anything happening.”
    His dad snorted. “What about you?”
    Jacob glanced at his dad.
    His dad stared back. “You can’t blame me for trying.”
    Renegade lumbered across the pasture, stopping every once and a while to tear at another mouthful of grass with his powerful jaws. Jacob felt as though his life was about as empty as Renegades. “Did you ever wonder if this was all there was to life?”
    “What more do you want?”
    Jacob had spent the last few weeks thinking about what was missing from his life. “I want to find someone special, dad. But most of the women I know are either married, engaged, or living with someone. I don’t want to be alone for the rest of my life.”
    Nearly two years ago, he’d been engaged to a woman he’d loved. When she’d left, she’d taken a part of his heart with him.
    Jacob’s dad looked at his ranch, then back at his son. “You think you’ll be able to find this person if you’re traveling around the country?”
    “It’s better than staying at Emerald Lake. The only conversations I have are with the red hawks and squirrels.”
    “Are you lonely, son?”
    Jacob’s heart clenched tight. “I’ve got good friends here. But they’re all in relationships.”
    “And you think leaving Montana is the answer?”
    Jacob nodded.
    “Well, I’d suggest you sell your land quickly and move to New York.”
    “You wouldn’t mind?”
    “Of course I’d mind. Your mom and I will miss you, but it’s your life, son. If there is one thing I’ve learned over the last few months, it’s to make the most of every opportunity you get. If the sale of your land creates an opportunity somewhere else, then you’ve got to give it a go. But I’ll tell you one thing. If you want that land sold for a good price, you might want Molly taking the photos. One look at her pictures and everyone will be falling over themselves to buy a piece of paradise.”
    “I’ll think about it.”
    His dad nodded and started walking toward one of their barns. “You do that. Come and see our latest addition to the ranch. Matador is going to be bigger than Renegade.”
    Jacob followed his dad. He didn’t have to think too hard about Molly. It didn’t matter that she thought about him. Business was business. He needed to sell the land for more than he’d paid for it. Molly was the best person to take the photos.
    If she said no, he’d find someone else. If she said yes, he’d figure out what he wanted and leave her to the job he’d pay her to do. And if he was lucky, he wouldn’t see too much of her before he left town.

    Molly parked her car in front of Angel Wings Café. After two days of being pestered by Emily, she’d agreed to meet
