Racing against time, she attempts to reach the horses and escapes the chaos long enough to call for help. During the rescue, thick smoke and sudden danger cause her to be overpowered, dragged back into the burning barn, and lose consciousness. Her ordeal is interrupted when the new ranch hand, Daniel Fowler, brings her back to safety.","The smoke made her lightheaded.  \nErika could feel the warmth of the horse’s body, but as she struggled through the burning barn, she started to sway. To orient herself, she touched the rough wood of the wall and stepped toward the sound of Pete’s barking.  \nWhen she was nearly to the door, she saw a man standing a few feet away.  \nFear raged through her. What was happening? Pounding hooves faded as he grabbed her. She sought to free herself from the man’s grip. The smoke was too thick to see anything clearly. Her coughing became out of control as she was dragged back into the barn. Twisting her body and flailing her fists, she could feel herself growing fainter, weaker. Theman shoved her to the ground.  \nDear God, don’t let me lose consciousness. Don’t let me die here.  \nHer world went black.  \nWhen she came to, she was being carried. A gentle voice reached her ears. “I got ya. You’re okay, Erika.”  \nIt was Daniel Fowler, the new ranch hand, coming to her rescue.  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nEver since she found the Nancy Drew books with the pink covers in the country school library, Sharon Dunn has loved mystery and suspense.

The dog’s tail thumped twice even though he barely lifted his head.  \n“Hey, Tex. How’s my old boy doing?” She stroked his head and then petted the white scruff on his muzzle.  \nThe dog responded by licking her hand.  \nTex was fourteen years old. Removing the cancerous growth would buy the dog some time, maybe give him an opportunity to chase a few more balls. Time enough for his owner to be able to say goodbye and let go.  \nShe lifted her gaze and stared out the window of the vet clinic at the dark starless sky. Though the retriever was her only overnight patient tonight, she didn’t mind late-night check-ins. From childhood, sleep for her had been evasive.
