“DEVIN LAYNE? Or should I call you Daredevil?”
At the sound of the voice behind him, Devin turned, a frown forming on
his forehead. Daredevil was a moniker he no longer attributed to himself. Not
since his last deployment—the mission that had taken the lives of some of his
best buddies in the 10

th Special Forces and had gotten him a one-way ticket
out of the military. He flexed his aching leg and faced a man with black hair,
black eyes, and a military haircut. “I’m Devin.”
The man stuck out his hand. “Jake Cogburn. My colleague, Max
Thornton, asked me to talk with you.”
Max Thornton? Devin remembered Max Thornton. He’d been a member
of the 10
th Special Forces a couple of years before Devin. Max had been on a
mission with him sometime in the past. Then Devin hadn’t heard or seen
anything about Thorn—the callsign he’d gone by—for several months. “So?
Am I supposed to be impressed?”
Jake gave him a quick grin. “No. But he said you were a top-notch Green
Beret.”
“Past tense,” Devin said, turning away. “If you’ll excuse me, I’m
working.”
“I know. I don’t want to take up too much of your time here. But I’d like
to buy you a drink and talk.”
Devin shook his head. “I’m busy.”
“How about tomorrow…Gunny’s Watering Hole…seven o’clock?” Jake
persisted.
Irritated, Devin gathered his horse’s reins. “Like I said, I’m busy.”
“At least, think about it. I have a job opportunity you might be interested
in.” Jake touched his arm. “Just hear me out over drinks. I think you could be
an asset to our organization.”
Devin snorted. “I doubt it.” He stood for a moment by the fence
overlooking the arena where the Fool’s Gold, Colorado, annual Gold Rush
Rodeo was taking place. This was the first job he’d landed since he’d come
home to Colorado, and it was only for the duration of the rodeo.
Yeah, he had some money coming in from his medical retirement from
the Army, but his dissatisfaction wasn’t so much with the money as the need
to work. The problem was there weren’t too many opportunities for a man
who could barely get around. Unless he settled for a desk job. He frowned.
“How did you know I’d be here?” No one except his immediate family knew
he’d returned to Fool’s Gold.
“I ran into your sister, Laurel, in town.” Jake Cogburn leaned his elbows
on the rail, watching as a contestant lowered himself onto a huge bull in the
chute.
Seconds later, the gate opened, and the bull leaped out. The man held on
to the rope around the bull’s middle for four seconds before the frenzied beast
threw him.
“Laurel has a big mouth,” Devin muttered.
“Laurel cares about her brother,” Jake countered. “Besides, I asked about
you. She didn’t want to lie, so she told me you’d come home.”
“So, I’m home.” Devin shot a narrow-eyed glance at Jake. “How did
Thorn know to ask about me?”
