landing. “It’s so good to be back at the ranch. I’m starved and a want a hot bath, not necessarily in that order.” She smiled at Ty.
    “While you soak in a hot tub, I’ll fix you breakfast.”
    “Sounds wonderful.”
    “We’re all sure glad to have you home safe and sound, little lady,” Sheriff Grady said.
    “Thank you so much, and you, too,” she said and looked from Sheriff Grady toward the pilot. “I know you all took a risk with your own safety to come after me in this weather.”
    “We’ve done it before. At least this time we have a happy ending,” Sheriff Grady said.
    The Sheriff got out first. Then he helped Ty and Lily out. They leaned low and ran toward the house.
    “Won’t you and the pilot come in for coffee and breakfast?” Ty asked.
    “We’ll head back to town. I still have to transfer those three to the Feds. And my wife will be looking for me home for lunch. See you all soon.” Sheriff Grady tipped his hat and ran back to the copter.
    Ty carried Lily inside and upstairs to her room. “Undress. I’ll start the water running and then go cook your food.”
    “I can hardly wait. They didn’t give me anything to eat, but I want to feel clean, too.” She rose onto her tiptoes and brushed her lips across his mouth. “Thank you again.”
    “You can thank me later, when you’re stronger.” He winked at her as he left the room. Taking the steps two at a time, he went downstairs and into the kitchen. He’d cook a big meal for everyone.
    Brent, who must have seen them go upstairs, joined him. “She’s not injured?”
    “No, she’s cold and hungry, but otherwise she’d doing well.”
    “It’s a miracle they didn’t kill her.”
    “I know.” Ty looked across at his brother. “I think it’s because she couldn’t identify them. They wore masks.” He walked across the room and had refilled the coffee pot with water, when the front door opened and Drake hollered hello.
    “She’s all right?” Drake asked as he stomped into the kitchen and looked around.
    “Fine, but hungry and wanted a bath. She’ll be down in a few minutes.”
    “Where’d you find her?” Brent asked.
    “The same area where I thought I’d seen something late yesterday. If we’d had a few more minutes of light and the front hadn’t been closing in on us, we’d have had her home last night.” He turned to Drake. “As I was just telling Brent, they wore masks. She didn’t see their faces.”
    “That may make it difficult to get them convicted,” Drake said.
    “The Feds will check the cabin. Hopefully they left some fingerprints, and they’re bound to have a record and maybe other charges against them,” Brent said.
    “She thinks she’ll recognize their voices,” Ty added. “But what we need most is to find out is who wanted her and why?”
    “Maybe one of them will give up that information for a lesser sentence.” Brent went to the coffee pot and poured coffee for the three of them. He took a sip. “I needed this.”
    “I do, too. Pour me a cup, please.” Lily stood in the doorway.
    All three men turned in her direction. Ty wanted to go pick her up and hold her tight again. He barely restrained himself. Her long hair hung down around her shoulders. She’d put on jeans and a gold-and-brown colored shirt. The sun coming in the windows made her glow.
    “We’re very glad to see you back home,” Drake said.
    Brent bent down and kissed her cheek. “That’s from Angie and me.” He grinned at her and handed her his cell phone. “Why don’t you call her? I called her on the way back here to let her know we’d found you, but she’ll want to hear your voice.”
    Lily sat at the table and phoned her sister. Ty fixed her hot chocolate.
    “Hi, Sis,” Lily said. “Yes, I’m not hurt, only hungry. I’m going to eat, and then I’ll call back and we’ll talk more.” She handed Brent his phone. “Sorry, but I can’t resist this food. I’m starved and it smells wonderful.”
    Ty was
