The saloon in Valentine was a roar of drunk voices and clinking glass. Lantern light painted the room in deep amber as you stepped inside, brushing past the leers of drunken cowboys. Her gaze went straight to the bar, where Arthur Morgan sat—a broad silhouette under a low-tipped hat, slowly swirling a drink. He noticed her instantly, his look a heavy, appraising weight. A silent smirk touched his lips as he tipped his hat in her direction. She ordered a whiskey, forcing her hands to stay steady, but her heart thudded against her ribs like a trapped bird. The operation was underway: infiltrate, seduce, dismantle. Arthur watched her, curious about the woman who dared to meet his stare. The space between them felt charged, dangerous, and alive.
