      MEET THE FORTUNES

      Fortune of the Month: Chloe Fortune Elliott

      Age: 26

      Vital statistics: Five foot two, eyes of blue and a heart as big as Texas.

      Claim to Fame: None—until she discovers Jerome Fortune is her biological father.

      Romantic prospects: Questionable. She has loved and lost. Once you’ve “fallen off the horse,” it can be hard to pick yourself up again.

      “I’ve been working as a counselor at Peter’s Place ranch for just a few weeks now, and it’s just as challenging—and rewarding—as I thought it would be. One challenge I didn’t expect was Chance Howell. Graham Fortune’s new ranch hand makes me feel, well...he makes me feel. I thought my heart died along with my husband when Donnie got killed in Afghanistan.

      I suppose any red-blooded female would respond to a cowboy as sexy as Chance. But he’s a former soldier himself, and he’s made it clear he doesn’t “do” permanent. And I’m still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that I’m a Fortune. There are a million reasons why we shouldn’t get involved. So why do they go flying out the window the minute he sidles up beside me?”

      “Hello, Chloe, are you still there?”

      Chloe Elliott’s hand tightened around her landline’s receiver as she heard the caller’s deep male voice asking her the same question again.

      Was she still there?

      Part of Chloe felt like answering the question by simply hanging up. She’d had enough disappointments in her twenty-six years to last a lifetime, why would she set herself up for yet another one?

      But there was this other part of Chloe, the part that needed to believe that good things could happen, that they still did happen. That was the part that had been instrumental in making her get out of bed every morning even after Donnie, the husband she’d adored, had been killed while serving in Afghanistan after they had been married for only an incredibly short
