Scavenger Hunt Clue 10

A few short months ago, Chloe Daniels, an actress, had come to Tillbridge to research life at a horse stable for an audition. They’d fallen for each other. She’d since won the part in Shadow Valley, and now Chloe and Tristan were both excited about spending more time together while she worked on the film.

“If you don’t want to bother Tristan, there is another way.” From the look in Philippa’s eyes, Rina already knew what she was going to say.

“Ask Zurie instead of Tristan for help? That’s a huge nope. First, I’d get the judgy look, then I’d get a lecture from her on what I should have done to prevent Dennis from leaving and after that, she’d try to micromanage whoever she sent over to my cafe to help out. It’s not worth the headache.”

Philippa held her hands up in surrender. “It was just a suggestion.

She is the co-manager of the entire operation along with Tristan.”

It wasn’t a bad idea, but these days, Rina didn’t have energy for the smile, ignore, deflect game she usual y played with Zurie whenever she talked to her. “Someone cal ed the cafe today looking for a job. They could work out, and who knows, Dennis could change his mind and come back.”

“Maybe.”

Rina followed Philippa’s gaze that had shifted to the two men in front of the barn. “I didn’t know middle-aged guys were your thing.

Don’t be shy. Prance on over there and say hello to him.”

“I don’t prance. I walk graceful y. And if I were interested in saying hello to anyone, it would be the guy that ran into you. He’s Nash Moreland’s stunt double, and in my opinion, he’s a lot better looking than Nash.”

Thirtyish, dirty blond hair on the longish side, a five o’clock shadow covering his angled jawline, hazel green eyes with more than a hint of mischief to match his easy smile. It did al fit together for an appealing package. “He’s okay.”

“Just okay? You wouldn’t say that if you saw him without the jacket. He had it off earlier when he came over here to ask for some water. Girl…” Philippa fanned her face. “After seeing him up close, I needed water to cool off. Too bad this film isn’t about lifeguards.”

Rina’s own imagination wandered into Philippa’s daydream territory, rewinding to when he’d effortlessly held her up while keeping the tray of pies from falling to the ground. Then it morphed into him without the jacket, wrapping his strong arms around her while she leaned into his solid, muscular chest. Heat started to flush into her cheeks, and she swept the image aside. Now wasn’t the time for fantasies.

“Everyone will be here soon. Shouldn’t you bring out the rest of the food?”

“Probably.” Even though the two men had gone back inside the barn, Philippa still stared in that direction. “He looked intense when he came over here. I wonder what he’s like when he’s not working?”

The teasing, sexy, oh-so-confidant smile he’d flashed after “saving the pies” came into Rina’s mind.

Nash Moreland’s double sailed out of the barn, and in one fluid movement, he rolled to a crouching position with the prop pistol in his hand.

The way he performed that stunt so easily and mindlessly told Rina al she needed to know. Just like Xavier, he viewed himself as invincible.

“Almost ran you over. And like I said. It was my greatest stunt ever.”

“You’re still sticking with that, huh?”

“Yep. And it will always be the greatest.” His smile lit up the love in his eyes and touched her heart. “Because it gave me you.”
