Josie reined in her horse and looked out at the valley that ran spring green
to the still-snowcapped mountain peaks.
“Look at that, Ivy,” she whispered as she hugged the toddler in front of
her, resting her chin on top of her daughter’s blond head. “Isn’t it pretty?”
The sun slipped behind the mountains, turning the Montana sky a
brilliant orange that radiated across the horizon, making the last of the day
glow as warm and bright as any Josie had ever seen.
“Pwetty,” her fourteen-month-old repeated.
Ivy’s hair still had that baby smell, the loose curls a pale blond and
down-soft, so much like Josie’s own. Ivy looked just as Josie had at that
age. Except for her eyes. Instead of being the color of bluebonnets, they
were a startling deep, dark brown—just like the baby’s father’s.
Because of that, Josie never looked at her daughter without being
reminded of him—and Texas. Each brought an ache of its own.
As beautiful as Montana was, it wasn’t Texas. This time of year, the
Texas hill country would be alive with bluebonnets and Indian paintbrush
against a backdrop of live oak. The air would be scented with cedar.
So different from Montana. She stared out at the lush landscape and
breathed in the sweet scent of pine. The Buffalo Jump Ranch, surrounded
by snowy peaks, towering pines and rocky bluffs, was thousands of miles
from Texas—and the past.
But more important, she’d found what she wanted to do with her life
here in Montana. For the first time, Josie O’Malley felt truly at peace.
The realization startled her. She’d always felt at odds with the
diminutive flaxen-haired sprite with the bright blue eyes she saw staring
back at her from the mirror. They said she looked like her mother, but her
father and brothers assured her she was nothing like sweet-tempered, softspoken Katherine Donovan O’Malley had been.
Instead, Josie had a wild spirit, as wild as the Texas land she’d grown up
in, with a rebellious temperament her father said came from her namesake,
her great-grandmother Josephine O’Malley.
Josie didn’t mind the comparison to her great-grandmother, who’d been
a Wild West rodeo trick rider. In fact, Josie had clung to her rebellious spirit
when her father and older brothers had tried to break it the same way they
broke their horses—by trying to break her will. In the end, they’d only
succeeded in driving her away.
As she hugged her daughter in the fading light, Josie realized with more
than a little surprise how far she’d come—and not in miles. For the first
time, she really did feel…ready. Maybe now she could do what she’d sworn
on her great-grandmother’s memory she would do.
The horse nickered softly beneath them, his ears coming up as he raised
his head and sniffed the warm breeze. Suddenly his ears lay back as if he
saw something in the trees.
Josie tensed as well, her gaze going past the aspens to the dark edge of
pines that bordered the horse ranch to the north. The first shadows of
evening had settled in the trees, but she was close enough that she could see
him. A man. Standing not fifty feet away. Looking right at her. Watching her
and Ivy.
