   Summary

   “I don’t aim to be overly bold or come across as impolite. But the moment I looked at you...” the stranger looked over him with his piercing gaze, his voice dropping a couple of octaves, sending shivers down Cloud's spine. “I knew I gotta have you.”

   “And I don’t aim to sound downright unfriendly, but talk like that isn’t acceptable here,” Cloud narrowed his eyes. “You strike me as a whole mess of trouble,” he added, eyes meeting with a pair of brown ones, initiating a challenge of his own.

   The man kept it up for a moment, the grin widening once more in excitement before surrendering and taking a drink of his whiskey.

   Cloud was finally given the title of the deputy, just before two strangers entered his town and shook up his life.
