Blurb:
Jack is focusing on building an equine therapy school for children with special needs and works hard along side his normal horse training and breeding program. He and Riley have settled into a softer, quieter, kind of family life, but that doesn’t stop them using the barn with the door to the fullest!
But the lull comes before the storm.
Riley and his new assistant travel to Laredo, and across the border into Nuevo León as part of an exploratory team and things very quickly go to hell. Riley is caught in some serious Cartel problems and suddenly everything Jack holds dear is threatened.
Add in Vaughn and Darren’s story, revisiting Robbie, Eli, Liam and Marcus, alongside Sean and Eden and the wedding that never was, and this story promises you everything you want from a Texas series book.
The barn is a recurring theme in all six books.
The barn is where Riley and Jack argued, where Jack hid after Riley… well I can’t give that away. It has improved over the five books and actually at the end of book 5 Jack fixed the door. Well, with a growing family you can’t exactly have a door anyone can open and walk into find you…
Well I can’t say what you’d see. I just know there are supplies in the barn. Lube, rope, blankets, and lots of strong sturdy wooden uprights to hang on to.
One day Riley and Jack may knock down the old barn. After all, the new barn built after the fire is all very modern, with the apartment over it.
Thing is I am not sure readers of the series would forgive me if I destroyed the barn.
And don’t get me started on fixing the potholed road. After all, there is a reason Riley has traded in his Porsche for a Land Rover.
Physical *things* are often important in stories. Pendants, boxes with hidden papers, rooms with secrets, guns, diaries… all of these give a good focus for moving a plot along.
What are your favourite memories of the barn?
Hayley had gone off at just after midnight with Eden, which meant Jack had ticked everything off the list he had in his head. Now they had some time. Just the two of them. And he wanted that. Not just to kiss and touch and have the best sex of his life with the man he loved, but just to be them. On their own.Riley had been blown away by Jack’s fashioning a door for their barn. Add in blankets and a good sorting out of old boxes stored in the corner, and the place was looking less like a barn and more like a separate apartment. Well, one without sofas, a kitchen, or actually anything really. But it had a door and a skylight and it was draft-proof for the most part.
They walked from house to barn, passing the new barn and its second-floor apartment.
“Liam seemed off again tonight,” Jack observed. “Poor kid is overwhelmed.”
“He’s brave giving evidence. And he’ll have Marcus with him.”
Jack realized now was a good time to talk about what he wanted to do. “Thought I’d go down with him,” he said. “Me ’n Robbie both.”
Riley just nodded. He accepted that Jack had thought it through. “It’ll be good for him to have both of you in his corner.”
“Are you here at the end of January?”
“Nothing out of town until mid-February. I’m working with the teams in Nuevo León,” Riley answered after some consideration.
“Still not sure I like the idea of you going over the border for the field.” The idea of Riley being in a place controlled by cartels and fear set him off to worrying. A lot.
Riley nodded, looking thoughtful. Jack was aware that Riley had researched the area. “I have this guy, Bryan, he’s working security and has a team he’s taking, and we’ll have the new police down there with us. They cleared out a lot of the crap from the area, and companies are down there all the time with the fieldwork.”
“You’ll stay safe.”
“Always.”
They were just two married people walking in the dark, sorting out who was going to be there for the kids and how the logistics would work, and that lasted until they turned up at the door to the barn with its shiny new lock. Jack opened the door, and as soon as it was locked again behind them, the game changed.
