Chapter One

“I want you to lookie here, sugar” Markie, flamboyant and proud, waved his arm in front of the crosstie area “I’m tickled all over ar” He stroked his chin as if to indicate a little hair on his jaw and quickly added, “Have you ever seen a cleaner barn?” He rested one hand in the curve of his waist, gave his body a shove and snapped his finger “I think not”

“Markie, I don’t have time for this” Allister focused on the far end of the barn as soon as he spotted his brother “Harley! Have you seen Bradley?”

“Not since early this ” Harley walked toward him “What’s up?”

“I need to find hilanced at Markie “Don’t you have somewhere you need to be?”

“I could go entertain that sweet lady friend of yours and ask her to go shopping Would that suit ‘cha?”

“Ah for the love of cow shit on your boots, just spit it out” Markie tousled his snohite hair “It’s not like I’ll rush off and find Bradley first” He waited “Then again, if it’s this important, maybe I will”

“Have you seen Bradley or not?”

“It’s about his sister” The sooner Allister put that out there, the sooner Markie would straighten up his act

“His sister?” Harley frowned “What about her?”
