Her Cowboy Distraction

She'd been watching the handsome rancher for a while, just a lone cowboy eating pie with an empty chair beside him. One night, Lizzie Wiles, Cowboy Café's feisty new waitress, went over and dared to interrupt his tortured solitude. Daniel Jefferson seemed shocked by her boldness as he buried himself in guilt over his wife's mysterious death. Lizzie tried to penetrate his gloom, but in the end, found herself falling in love.
Having plans to leave town, she didn't want to think of these consequences. Worse, someone really wanted her to disappear-now! Attacked and warned to leave, Lizzie had every reason to go.but she had one undeniable reason to stay.
