Back in the Saddle

Rough Riders short story featuring Cord and AJ McKay

5 kids

4 horses

3 ranch animals

2 busy parents

...and 1 very annoyed wife.

Perfect marriage? Think again...

AJ McKay is at her wit's end with her husband. In recent months, the randy man who continually has his hands on her somewhere, has become very hands off. It seems the dog receives more daily attention than she does. But the real kicker? Cord hasn't appeared to notice the distance growing between them.

Cord can't believe his ears when he overhears his wife complaining about him and his failure to fondle her at every opportunity. While he admits he's been distracted, AJ might've exaggerated his inattentiveness toward her...hasn't she?

It's up to him to remind AJ that he's very hands-on with problem solving. Especially when it comes to her.
