Cowboy Love and Mystery Book 19 - Tussles / Romance eBook Series: Cowboy Love and Mystery (ePub)

Big Tom has broken out of prison, and Will and the girls are in a panic. While Mike works with his men to ascertain the level of damage done in the breaking out, Will and the girls get to safety and come up with a plan. Big Tom is momentarily distracted, and Small Jay has to remind him of their planned alliance with their rivals, led by Marci. Adrian holds a grudge against his father, and despite having a working plan to abduct Evelyn and kill Will, he has his own plan.

Evelyn's POV

Lisa and everyone else think we should be calm, but knowing that Big Tom is free does not help. We return home to find our house on fire, and now we have to stay in a brothel. Will wants to put his life on the line, but I am able to make everyone see that using me as bait, instead of Will, would be more advantageous. I know that Big Tom will not think twice about ending Will's life. Everyone is anxious about putting me forward as bait, but they have to trust me. When Adrian shows up and kills his colleague, confusion sets in.

Will's POV

Big Tom's escape puts everyone, especially Evelyn, on edge. We get home to find the ranch on fire. Only Big Tom could have done this. It's a warning, and I am not taking kindly to it. Courtney finds a not-too-suitable place for us to stay in for a few days. I come up with the idea of using myself as bait, even though I am not so sure I'd survive it. Evelyn pushes herself forward in place of me and persuades everyone to believe in her plan, a brilliant one, but still; I don't like that her life's on the line, but I have to trust her regardless. I watch the men come into the brothel but am surprised when Adrian kills his colleague and offers us his alliance.
