âWhatâs Happening in Royal?â
NEWS FLASH, MayâThe Texas Cattlemanâs 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 dateâlately it seems like bachelors have become an endangered species around Royalâ¦.
In fact, no bachelor is safe, not even notorious playboy Jason Windover! Seems heâs 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 chewâfrom what we hear, Ms. Silver packs quite a punch!
With Sebastian cleared of murder, the question on everyoneâs mind is: Who really murdered Eric Chambers? There have been quite a few closed-door meetings at the Texas Cattlemanâs Club lately. Could Royalâs favorite gents have some suspicion as to the murdererâs identity? If they do, theyâre not saying anythingâ¦.

Epilogue
âDonât tell me Iâm the club expert at seduction,â Jason Windover grumbled good-naturedly, glancing around the circle of friends and fellow members of the Texas Cattlemanâs 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 boarâs head was mounted above the stone mantel, and a Tiffany chandelier glittered brightly.
The Texas Cattlemanâs Club was one of Texasâs 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.
âAu contraire,â Sebastian Wescott said, turning to his longtime friend. âYouâre the one who excels at seduction, so I nominate you to get this Valkyrie out of our hair.â
âI second that motion,â snapped black-haired Will Bradford, a partner of Wescott Oil Enterprises.
Jason looked into Sebastianâs silver-gray eyes and shook his head. âIf nothing else, sheâs not my type,â Jason said coolly, certain this foolishness would pass. âI 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 ainât gonna happen.â
