Bridles

Sawyer:

Growing up on the Black Gulch Ranch, I should love everything about the cowboy life. The wide open prairies,the freedom to set my own schedule, and being with animals every day.
Except it isn’t everything it’s cracked up to be.
I’d rather spend my time playing video games than shoeing horses.
Or hanging with my friends instead of shoveling stalls.
So when my best friend, Scotty, said he was quitting his job working for his sister at her bar, I jumped at the chance to take his place.
I’ve known her since I was a kid, how bad would it be to work for her? At twenty-two, it’ll give me some good experience.
She’s older, wiser, and knows exactly how to push my buttons like an older sibling would.
Until she pushes too far and opens up something inside of me I never knew existed.
But when old threats grow at home, do I stay to help protect my family, or give in to the fiery saloon owner who’s determined to break me in all the best ways?
