“I know Katie, dear… but we’re lucky to even be alive,” he replied.
“When can we go home?” she demanded to know as the figures on horseback grew closer.
“Well, we’ll have to have the repairs made to the plane, and then we’ll go home,” he answered. “Now here come some Wyoming cowboys to help us. Be nice!”
Katie eyed the cowboys as they approached, especially the one on the chestnut stallion in the lead of the rescuers.
“Whoa boy!” McGuire pulled the reins of his horse to a stop, holding his lantern out. The lights on the airstrip helped a good deal, but in the black of night, the lanterns really helped. “Howdy! Name’s McGuire. McGuire Halston. I see you survived a rough landing with some damages. Everybody okay? Need a ride? We may have some empty cabins or other ‘commodations you can hold up in until your plane is repaired…”
“I do!” Katie put her hands on her hips and stepped forward. “I need a ride, and so does my father.”
“Would you like a ride, Sir?” Bronson offered, tipping his cowboy hat. “Bronson Edwards.”
“Thank you. I’m Senator Andrews from Cheyenne.” He was glad he’d worn jeans for the flight. “Call me Dwight. This is my daughter, Katie Andrews.” He accepted Bronson’s hand up onto the back of the horse. At least he didn’t have to worry about anyone stealing the plane for the time being. It wasn’t going to go anywhere with a broken right wing. “We’re both okay… just a little shaken.”
“Buck Maxheimer…” Buck’s horse edged forward.
“Jed Dalton… glad you’re both safe, Senator.” Jed and his horse remained still.
McGuire sidled his horse up to the beautiful girl in the red polka dot dress and extended a strong arm. She had about the prettiest legs he’d ever seen. “Hop on, little lady!”
Katie blinked in the lantern light, but realized she didn’t have much choice. She accepted the strong arm as he pulled her up onto the back of the horse in one graceful swoop.
“Hold on tight!” McGuire instructed.

About the Author
Lisa M. Prysock lives in the countryside of beautiful, rolling Kentucky just outside of the greater Louisville area near horse farms and four board fences with her husband of 19 years. She homeschooled the two youngest of their five children and is excited about her youngest entering the journey of college life.
She and her husband live in an average Colonial style home they are continually updating-- with a funny looking Heinz 57 dog; an adorably dainty lady cat; two teenagers; a vegetable garden; numerous flower beds; and a tree house undergoing a remodel. When not in teaching or writing mode, she is teaching herself to play the piano and violin. Regarding this she laughs: “It’s a pretty painful process, but I’m truly enjoying it!”
Lisa loves all things old-fashioned and has adopted a slogan of “The Old-Fashioned Everything Girl.” A few of her interests and passions include doll houses, long dresses and hats, gardening, reading the Classics, butterflies, swimming, walking, working out, cooking, sewing, crochet, cross stitching, arts and crafts, scrapbooking, decorating, and drawing.
Recently, her husband remodeled a room in their home with a picture window overlooking a valley containing a creek and wooded area, transforming the space into a serene writing office/sewing room. “It’s a great source of peace and inspiration for me… and pure joy not to be writing from the busy kitchen amidst the household chaos on a laptop. Growing teenagers eating every five minutes makes for a constant stream of happenings!”
Be sure to check out her new release Geneva, a fiction Christian Historical Romance series with a theme on the fruits of the Spirit! These days, Lisa is also writing her first Contemporary Western Christian Romance novels as a contributing author to the ‘Whispers in Wyoming’ series with Danni Roan, Kari Trumbo, Lynn Winchester, and Rachel Skatvold.
Lisa is an Amazon bestselling and award winning author of To Find a Duchess, an Inspirational Regency Romance; ‘The Victorian Christian Heritage Series’ which includes Hannah’s Garden: a Turn of the Century Love Story and Abigail’s Melody; and ‘The Lydia Collection,’ which includes The Redemption of Lady Georgiana (a Ruth love story of modern day Regency proportions), Protecting Miss Jenna (an Antebellum Era Christian Romance Adventure), and Persecution & Providence (a ‘Jane Austen-ish’ mail order bride story from the Pioneer Era). She is also the author of a devotional/Bible Study, Arise Princess Warrior and recently released The Shoemaker, an Old-Fashioned Regency Christmas Romance. Lisa writes clean and wholesome literature that shares her faith in Jesus Christ. She is a member of ACFW and Louisville Christian Writers. You can find out more about Lisa at: www.LisaPrysock.com
