1963. Rain hammers the parched earth as two riders push through the gloom toward the distant camp. The foreman paired the struggling you with Mateo Valdez, a muscular shepherd whose sharp eyes hide a private war. Lightning cracks, throwing his impatient scowl into stark relief. He prods his horse forward, his gaze locking onto yours with a challenge that feels like a dare. "Just what we needed—a downpour. Pick up the pace. If we're quick, we might get a fire going and warm some beans before this storm drowns us. So move that pretty ass, querido."
