MAKE MINE A
COWBOY

COWBOY
DREAMIN’ 1

Chapter
One

“No,
no, no, no!” Mesa Arraguso banged on the steering wheel of her rental car with
both fists. The gas gauge read
E
. “I
can’t be out of gas! I’m in the middle of fucking nowhere.” The sting of heat
from the leather burned her fingertips. The stifling warmth rose exponentially
inside the car without the air conditioning running. It was, after all, the
middle of May in Bandera, Texas.

A
rumble of thunder broke the stillness as she contemplated what to do. She’d
taken a drive to clear her head and jumpstart her muse for her next book, not
end up on the side of the road, out of gas, with no houses within several
miles.

This
was cowboy country. Hill Country in Texas boasted some of the biggest longhorn
cattle
spreads
in the state. Several cattle mooed in
the distance but she couldn’t tell how close a house might be. At least cattle
meant humans…somewhere.

Large
banks of dark clouds continued to roll across the sky. Several huge raindrops
hit her windshield with a loud
splat
before the sky opened up in a torrential downpour.

“Just
fucking great.
Now fate is going to throw me into a
huge thunderstorm. Why? Because I was stupid enough to go for a drive by myself
during a writers conference in San Antonio and I ended up out here in the
middle of the country. Now, I’m stuck on the side of some dirt road, out of gas,
and God only knows how far from the nearest house.”

Lightning
flashed, followed shortly by a loud crash of thunder. Mesa jumped. A shiver
raced through her body as her heart clenched in fear. She hated thunderstorms.

Her
cell phone beeped—the ominous sound of no cell phone coverage.
Great!

She
glanced out the window and saw water rushing under her car along a gulley she
didn’t realize she’d straddled when she stopped. “Shit. Flash flooding? I’m so
screwed.”

As
the water began rising rapidly, she realized she needed to get the hell out of
her car before it was washed away. In the distance she could make out several
larger rocks. “If I can get on top of them, I should be safe from the rush. Of
course, that means I’ll be out in the rain getting soaked.” Fear rose,
threatening to choke her with the lump in her throat. She rubbed her arms
trying to calm the chills while deciding what to do. She really didn’t have
much choice. Water ran in rivulets down the windshield. Lightning continued to
flash and thunder rolled over the area. She sucked in a large breath as she bit
her lip.

A
moment later a
tap, tap, tap
on her
window startled her out of her thoughts. She jumped and screamed as a face
appeared near her door. Blue eyes with long lashes stared back beneath a black
cowboy hat. Black hair ruffled slightly with the wind.

“Ma’am?
Are you all right?”

“I’m
fine.”

“You
need to get this car out of the water. You’ll be washed away. It’s rising fast.”

“I
can’t. I’m out of gas.”

“Open
the door.”

“Hell,
no.
Do I look crazy to you?” she
asked,
her voice shrill with terror.

“Trust
me. If I were a serial killer, I wouldn’t be out in this shit trying to find
women to abduct. I’m going to help you, but you need to get out of the car first
before we’re both swept away.”

Mesa
bit her lip. Should she trust him?

“Ma’am?”

“All
right.”
She eased open the door to find the water almost reached
the bottom of the car. The cowboy pulled the door the rest of the way as she
grabbed her purse.

“We
have to hurry,” he said, offering her a hand to help her from the car. “Let me
help you. This water is rushing pretty fast.”
