Kade’s temper inched higher. The notion of Sullivan with Ellie stirred a hot, dark feeling inside him. He didn’t understand it. He had never been a jealous man. Or at least he had learned to control it. Until now.

Kade forced himself to keep walking.

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

ELLIE TURNED A WARM SMILE ON THE BARTENDER. SHE’D BEEN watching him since they’d walked in. Rance Sullivan was tall, dark, and handsome. He had the kind of persona that promised a ride on the wild side, a broad-shouldered, well-muscled body, and a masculine gleam in his eyes that said he’d be good in bed.

He paused in front her, mopped the bar with a white terrycloth towel. “I haven’t seen you before. You must be new in town.”

She smiled. “Ellie Bowman.” She held out a hand, and Rance shook it, held it a little too long. “I just started working out at the Diamond Bar Ranch.”

“Nice to meet you, Ellie. I’m—”

“You’re Rance Sullivan. I know who you are. A friend of mine mentioned you. But it was a long time ago.”

“A friend, huh? What was his name?”

She glanced surreptitiously over her shoulder as if she wanted to be sure Kade couldn’t hear. He was talking to a couple of cowboys at the back of the room. “Her name was Heather Logan. She was married to Kade at the time. We met in Vail.”

Sullivan’s black eyes followed her gaze to the back of the room, checking to see where Kade had gone. “Heather mentioned me?”

“That’s right. I guess you guys were . . . umm . . . seeing each other for a while.”

His gaze sharpened. “That what she said?”

Ellie shrugged. “We got to be pretty good friends, always skied together when she came to Vail.” She smiled. “Heather had a real thing for you. Said you were tall, dark, handsome as sin, and wicked as the devil in bed. She told me you were the best she’d ever had.”

Sullivan’s shoulders subtly straightened. “I’m surprised she told you.”

“Like I said, it was a long time ago.”

His white teeth flashed. “Truth is, we did have a few good times.”

Ellie felt the rush of satisfaction that came with uncovering information. She took a sip of her drink. “When I started working at the ranch, I wondered if you’d still be here.” She smiled. “And what do you know, here you are.”

Ellie didn’t miss the wolfish gleam in his eyes that shifted from friendly to hungry. “Heather and I . . . it was wild and hot, but it didn’t last long. With Heather it never did.”

“So she dumped you?”
