another woman. I refuse. Absolutely refuse ,” Rhonda had yelled at the owner.
    “I’m very sorry, but there isn’t anything I can do. The other two rooms were booked before yours,” the owner tried to explain.
    The tour guide, Luka, stepped up in an attempt to calm things down. “That’s okay. We have a cabin on my family’s property that can accommodate Miss Lee.”
    Rhonda, who previously flirted with Luka in the van over to the bed and breakfast, turned on him lightning-fast. “A cabin? Out in the wilderness? I don’t think so! What do I look like, Annie fucking Berkley?”
    “I think you mean Oakley...Annie Oakley,” Andy corrected her, which earned her a glare from Rhonda.
    “Berkley...Oakley...I don’t give a shit! I’m not staying in a run-down, dirty cabin!” Rhonda was fuming. The owner started crying. That’s when the sister to the guide, Sage, stormed up to Rhonda and started letting her have it. Things were getting worse and worse by the minute and if she wasn’t mistaken, Sage might have actually growled at Rhonda. The door to the bed and breakfast banged open.
    Andy turned and stared in awe at the massive man walking in. He was dressed similar to Luka, with a form-fitting jacket and a pair of jeans. He walked right past her without a second glance. She could see him checking Rhonda out. Why were men so obsessed with Rhonda? Was it that she had a body like Jessica Rabbit? Damn Rhonda and her bionic boobs! Andy stepped back and leaned against the wall to watch what the stranger would do.

    Cosmo could hear the yelling as he approached the bed and breakfast from outside. His sister growled a couple of times, which was a sure sign that her bear wanted to break free. He heard the other woman’s voice and became infuriated with how she was talking to Mrs. Fielding and his sister. Who was this bitch?
    He shoved the door open and stomped inside. A scent hit him that made him halt a step and glance to his side. It was a strawberry and cream scent, but it was faint. He saw a large, heavily dressed man to his right and dismissed the scent. It was probably someone’s perfume that had lingered. He turned his attention back to the three women in front of him that were making the chaos in his world.
    “What is going on here?” Cosmo demanded. He looked the blonde over. She was attractive and built for fucking, but his bear didn’t want to have anything to do with her.
    The blond looked at him with disdain. “Who the hell are you?”
    “I’m Cosmo Vedar. I own Vedar Scout and Tour. Why are you yelling at my sister and Mrs. Fielding, the woman who’s like my second mother?”
    The blonde’s demeanor changed immediately. She turned a dark shade of red. “Oh, hi. My name is Rhonda Lee. I’m sorry for overreacting. It’s just that I thought I would have my own room. I was told by this...by Mrs. Fielding that there are only two rooms and I would have to share.” She tried to make it sound like it wasn’t her fault. Cosmo wasn’t fooled.
    Cosmo turned his attention to Mrs. Fielding and his expression softened toward her and he spoke with a gentle voice. “Hello, Mrs. Fielding.”
    The elderly lady stopped crying and smiled up at him. “Now, Cosmo, you know you can call me Myrtle. Did you like the pie I left for you at the Scout and Tour office?”
    “I did. I ate it in one sitting. Thank you for that. Do you want to tell me what happened here?”
    “Yes. Well, we only have two rooms available so I suggested that two of them share a room.” She handed him her booking log.
    “That sounds reasonable to me.” Cosmo looked at Mrs. Fielding’s book. “Andy Johnson and Denny Vega can share a room and Miss Lee will have her own.”
    “Oh, hell no!” a voice from behind Cosmo called out.
    He turned and his eyes locked onto a pair of soft brown eyes. The body was hidden, but he could make out her delicate facial features. He hadn’t seen a man when he first walked in, but a woman. “Who are
