Cowboy Love and Mystery Book 21 - 1978 / Romance eBook Series: Cowboy Love and Mystery (ePub)

Will and Evelyn are both down due to a surprise shoot-out at the negotiations. Adrian manages to escape with Gary, while Oliver, Timeon, and Donny return to their worried fathers. Each party suspects the other of foul play until it is revealed that history may be repeating itself. 'Dead but alive' Duchess Quin is found to be responsible for the shoot-out. Every camp has a plan, but again, Evelyn and her folks are caught in the unpleasant loop.

Evelyn's POV

I am surprised to have been hit, and before I can utter another word, I pass out. When I woke up, I found my family waiting at the hospital with me. Will is not there and I am worried, insisting on seeing him. Fortunately, he recovers, and while we are still coming to terms with the unfortunate shooting earlier, we receive a text from a certain Duchess. Father seems to know her, and I insist on being part of her plan to bring down the Hornets. Maybe I shouldn't have been so trusting and coercive. Court's life might be in danger now.

Will's POV

I am running to save Evelyn and to get out of this messed up negotiations shoot-out when a bullet hits me. Courtney manages to get us safely to the house but Evelyn is long gone. I cannot take the grief and no matter how hard I try to hold on, I pass out. When I wake up, Evelyn is there to welcome me back to life. Lisa receives a text from someone from Bill's past, and we agree to join the person in her ploy to bring down the Hornets. Despite my zeal in joining them for the meet-up, Evelyn forces me to stay put, using her logic.
