Arms of Shelter

He's in no mood for her recalcitrance...



Jude Barrington owns the Hideaway Ranch, where the caretakers frequently offer a place of refuge and solace to girls in need.



He, however, has had it with their "rescues". He's already expressed his opinion. Bringing in another rescued girl is not only against his better judgement;

it's lunacy.



This girl is certain to be a disaster. They all are.



As he rounds the corner to see her, he stops suddenly. And stares.

"Oh god," he mutters under his breath in disbelief, shaking his head.



"Not this one."
