JACKSON
IT WASN’T EVEN NOON YET, and I’d already had a hell of a day. As
I peered at the Nelson’s Mercantile sign through the dirty windshield of my
half-ton pickup, I eased my grip on the steering wheel. Based on the dark
gray clouds rolling in, Mustang Mountain was going to get another storm
today. If I wanted to grab the rest of my supplies and get back up the
mountain before the snow started falling, I needed to go inside and get this
over with.
The bell over the door jangled as I entered the store. Ruby and Orville
Nelson had been operating the Nelson Mercantile for decades. Their family
history with the tiny Montana town went back almost as far as mine. That
was about the only thing we had in common.
Ruby was hellbent on breathing new life into Mustang Mountain, while I
was more than content with the slow pace and peaceful life. She thought if
she could get some of the guys around here hitched, it would breathe new life
into our struggling town. I hadn’t stepped in when she hosted a women’s
weekend, and I looked the other way when she gave away free stays for
girlfriend getaways at the two cabins she owned. This time, she’d taken it too
far.
I held the postcard with my picture plastered across the front in my hand.
She must have snapped it last month when I stopped by their place to chop
some wood and make sure they had enough firewood for a while. Up here on
the mountain we took care of each other, though that was about to change
now that I’d seen how she repaid the favor.
“Good morning, Jackson.” Ruby beamed at me from behind the counter.
“Can I get you a cup of coffee?”
I stomped the snow off my boots and stalked toward her. “What the hell
is this?”
She glanced down at the postcard. Her eyes widened a tiny bit, but she
covered her surprise with another one of her bright smiles. “I suppose you
were bound to see it sooner or later.”
“Seeing as how you’ve got them plastered all over town, I suppose I was.
What were you thinking?”
“I was thinking we need to bring some new families into town if we don’t
want to end up like Wolf Canyon.” She set her hand on top of mine and her
voice softened. “You, of all people, should know what kind of trouble we’re
in, Jackson.”
Ruby might look like a kind-hearted grandma who spent most of her time
baking cookies and knitting Christmas stockings, but she had the mind of a
shrewd CEO. Too bad my family hadn’t hired her when business at the
lumber mill we owned took a turn for the worse.
“And how is me appearing half naked on a calendar postcard going to
bring families to Mustang Mountain?” I slid my hand out from under hers
and crossed my arms over my chest.
“We need women.” Ruby shrugged. “All you boys living up on the
mountain by yourselves—”
