The Hudson brothers. Three of them. Cowboys. What if they were rowdy and mean? She literally had no experience with cowboys but prayed these men were nothing like her ex. Why hadn't she found out more about them before coming all the way out here? Nate's messages were brief and to the point, but he'd seemed nice enough, polite, and he’d sounded relieved to find someone to work for them. I can do this!
Her first sight of the ranch house and outbuildings calmed her nerves, replacing her doubts and fears with a feeling of coming home. Strange, that. Weird, really, but she couldn't shake the thought. She parked beside the house and, after grabbing her purse, walked to the front door and rang the bell.
A few moments later, the door opened and there in front of her stood three gorgeous men, identical men, one of whom held a toddler. His smile reached his brown eyes, making them sparkle. He appeared more muscular than the other two and her body reacted to his nearness. Weak at the knees—which she tried to blame on the hours spent traveling—she stuck out a hand in greeting. "Hello, I'm Dani."
When the man holding the baby shook her outstretched hand, delightful shivers of awareness skittered up her spine. Oh, no! This can't be happening. I’m here to work. Damn it!
"Hi, I'm Ben. This guy beside me is Gabe, next to him is Nate, and this little guy is our baby brother, Jerry. Come on in and make yourself at home."
"Thank you." Dani entered the house and the feeling of belonging returned. She felt slightly vulnerable, intimidated really, with the men all towering over her five-foot, eight-inch frame. "If it's all right, I'd like to bring my things in. Can you show me to my room?"
The men looked at her strangely, as if she'd suddenly grown two heads. "What? Is there a problem?"
"We'll bring your stuff in, but we, uh, haven't exactly figured out sleeping arrangements yet," said Ben. “Be right back.”
He passed her the baby and they hightailed it out the door, leaving her staring, open-mouthed, at their retreating backs.
What on Earth have I gotten myself into?
