Billion Dollar Cowboy

I can honestly say I didn’t see that coming. Who would? How stupid was I to assume the promotion was mine? Ha… I even had the party planned and ready.

The humiliation is overwhelming.

I need to get out of here. I can’t even look at these people. A trip somewhere far away and exotic is what I need. No… somewhere quiet. Maybe the wilderness where no one can reach me? Solitude. That’s what I need, where I can reset, and grasp the reality of what just happened.

I’m not one for getting close to any one particular girl. Hell, I love my life of isolation. Being a billionaire rancher has its perks with just as many drawbacks. I make it a point to maintain my life as private as possible on this sprawling ranch. The less people know about me personally, the better.

But, as everyone knows, life loves to throw you a curve ball straight in the dirt.

The woman that’s currently renting my cabin is somehow bridging a connection to my scarred heart. One that hasn’t been opened in god knows how long.

I have to dig deep down and ask myself the hard questions. Can she actually handle my demons? Or should I get the hell out of dodge before someone gets hurt?
