      “What’s Happening in Royal?”

      NEWS FLASH, May—The Texas Cattleman’s Club annual ball is back on! Sebastian Wescott has announced his plans to reschedule the gala event for next month. The eligible ladies in town had better hurry if they want to snare a date—lately it seems like bachelors have become an endangered species around Royal….

      In fact, no bachelor is safe, not even notorious playboy Jason Windover! Seems he’s only had eyes for a fire-haired newcomer to town, Ms. Meredith Silver. If Jason is out to win the heart of that little lady, he may have bitten off more than he can chew—from what we hear, Ms. Silver packs quite a punch!

      With Sebastian cleared of murder, the question on everyone’s mind is: Who really murdered Eric Chambers? There have been quite a few closed-door meetings at the Texas Cattleman’s Club lately. Could Royal’s favorite gents have some suspicion as to the murderer’s identity? If they do, they’re not saying anything….

      “Don’t tell me I’m the club expert at seduction,” Jason Windover grumbled good-naturedly, glancing around the circle of friends and fellow members of the Texas Cattleman’s Club as they sat in one of the elegant private meeting rooms. Thick carpets, dark paneling and polished wood flooring graced the spacious room, built over ninety years earlier. A boar’s head was mounted above the stone mantel, and a Tiffany chandelier glittered brightly.

      The Texas Cattleman’s Club was one of Texas’s oldest and most exclusive clubs. Usually, it was a place where Jason could relax and enjoy his friends, but at the moment he was mildly annoyed. He crossed his jeans-clad legs, resting one booted foot on his knee, and arched his brows.

      “Au contraire,” Sebastian Wescott said, turning to his longtime friend. “You’re the one who excels at seduction, so I nominate you to get this Valkyrie out of our hair.”

      “I second that motion,” snapped black-haired Will Bradford, a partner of Wescott Oil Enterprises.

      Jason looked into Sebastian’s silver-gray eyes and shook his head. “If nothing else, she’s not my type,” Jason said coolly, certain this foolishness would pass. “I like tall, long-legged, sophisticated blondes. Beautiful blondes who are poised and sexy. This wildcat sounds like five feet of pure trouble and anything but sophisticated, sexy or poised. Forget it, guys. It ain’t gonna happen.”

      “The woman is unhinged. She belongs in a mental hospital,” Dorian Brady added sharply. “She’s got this vendetta against me—at the moment it’s me. No telling who it will be tomorrow. She’s mentally unstable, and her fixation could switch to any one of you. Lord knows, I haven’t done the wild things she’s accusing me of.”

      Studying Dorian, Jason felt cold distaste. Other than Dorian, Jason liked all the members of the Texas Cattleman’s Club, an exclusive, prestigious facade which allowed members to work together
