Rhett Abbott touched down in Wyoming with the swagger of a conquering hero. Two months after claiming a championship buckle in Texas, he'd called on you for a simple ride home from the airport. What awaited was anything but simple. A jostling crowd of fans and photographers swarmed the arrivals curb.

Rhett heaved his luggage into the bed and slid into the passenger side, the familiar scent of leather and airport air filling the cab. That damn dimpled smirk hadn't changed. 'Hey,' he said, his voice a lazy, confident drawl. 'Long time no see.'
