Hot in the Saddle by Randi Alexander

This is a cute short story. With some every hot fires.

Treven is a fulltime Cowboy and a volunteer Firefighter. He is just getting off duty and leaving when Delta Pennington’s racecar starts on fire. Treven is the closest and he just acts to save her. He pulls her out of the burning car to safety then realizes he didn’t have any protective gear on.

After Delta is pulled out of her car she looks to the man that saved her and see is he is severely injured. When Treven is released from the Hospital Delta offers to stay and help him out on his ranch. She starts to dream about staying at the ranch and really likening Treven, maybe even falling in love with him. However, she also has another reason to be there and it will not make Treven happy.

When Treven finds out Delta’s other reason to be in his town he gets so mad he kicks her out. But he is not the maddest at her, someone wants her dead. Will Treven overcome his anger at Delta, then if so can keep her alive and find the culprit that wants her dead?  Will Delta be able to stay alive long enough to see Treven again or will she just give up?

Horse wrangler and off-duty firefighter Treven Arnett is the person closest to Delta Pennington’s racecar when it bursts into flames and spins onto the infield. Without a thought for his own safety, Treven reaches in and releases her, pulling her out to safety before her stock car is consumed by fire.
