And she immediately felt better. Having a plan had always soothed her concerns.
To do anything more, she had to smooth out her life. Winter tugged her fingers out of her tangled hair, resolved to get herself together.
When the Callaways were faced with opposition to their plans to build at the reserve, they had targeted her brother as the villain of the story. Because of them, Ash had faced public criticism and the potential loss of his job as head ranger.
Even though they’d had no real proof of his guilt.
And after she’d spent years at Whit Callaway, Jr.’s side. Their engagement hadn’t stopped the drive to punish Ash.
Winter might have expected that from Senior, who valued the family’s standing above almost anything. That was business. Her anonymous release of the environmental-impact plan to the governor had been the same. Just business.
But the fact that her fiancé had gone along with his father’s efforts to hurt Ash? That’s where the pain came in.
Her best revenge would be to get so stinking happy that Whit Callaway gnashed his teeth when he remembered her. To do that, she had to get out of her parents’ house. Obviously.
She had a life to rebuild.
