David.
    Perfect sense. The ceiling spun around overhead and he closed his eyes. All those circles were making him dizzy. He wanted to sleep. But Bo…
    Then he sighed and stopped fighting it. Bo would be there in the morning and the plan would still make sense in the morning. He’d fix it then, because she couldn’t marry David. Logan couldn’t bear to see that sad look in her eyes get any worse.

Chapter Three
     
    Morning came and with it, the hangover from hell.
    Clarity also came but it wasn’t the kind of clarity he might have expected. Because the idea still made sense. Bo wasn’t in love with David. If she was, she wouldn’t have looked so miserable.
    But she was stubborn and if she’d made up her mind to marry Logan’s cousin, it would take a cataclysmic event to change her mind. Or maybe an illegal event with somewhat questionable motives. Logan had no problem admitting that, for purely selfish reasons, he didn’t want her marrying David. But he also knew that if he’d looked at Bo and seen happiness in her eyes, had known that she loved David and wanted to marry him, he would have let go.
    At least, he was pretty sure of that. Logan would have been miserable and he would have thought about beating David into a pulp. On a regular basis. He might have even moved away, just so he wouldn’t have to see his cousin, his friend , with the woman Logan loved. But she wasn’t happy and she didn’t love David.
    Logan knew he was leaving a vital part out of his reasoning. David. He didn’t want to think about David too much and he wouldn’t let himself look too closely at his reasons for avoiding it either. But one thing he was certain of, David wasn’t going to be happy married to Bo, either. Even if David was in love with her, he wouldn’t be happy because Bo wouldn’t happy.
    When he added it all up—Bo’s stubbornness, her unhappiness, the unhappiness that would result between Bo and David if they went through with the wedding and the fact that Logan had been in love with her his entire life—he figured he could do one of two things. He could do the wrong thing and let Bo marry somebody who’d make her miserable. Or he could do another wrong thing by kidnapping her. Give himself a few days to convince Bo that he was the only one who could make her happy.
    In the long run, it wasn’t a hard choice. Granted, his libido was all for the one that involved getting up close and personal with Bo. He was all for that. He wouldn’t deny feeling a little bit of guilt over what he was doing to his cousin. David might never forgive him. But Logan knew he couldn’t forgive himself if he let Bo make a mistake that made her miserable.
    So his guilt over David might make him lose some sleep but it wasn’t going to stop him.
    It would take planning. A couple of little white lies. He didn’t want anybody worrying about Bo. Not her dad, not her friends—not even her fiancé. That word left a bitter taste in his mouth. He couldn’t even think it without sneering.
    Still, as much as he wanted to pound on David’s face a little, he didn’t want his cousin thinking that something bad had happened to Bo. It was his weekend on call but he had a few favors to call in. Arranging everything was child’s play and oddly, sort of exhilarating.
    He cruised through Friday and considered it a good sign when Bo’s father came by the house where Logan lived with his brother. “You and Dusty going to be around this weekend?”
    “I won’t be,” Logan answered. “Dustin isn’t going anywhere though.” Dustin never went anywhere. His brother lived and breathed the small horse farm. “You need something?”
    Will shrugged. “Just a hand. I…” his voice trailed off and unless Logan was mistaken, the old guy was blushing a little. “Thinking about going up to that new casino in French Lick. A…friend invited me.”
    With a wide grin, Logan tucked his hands in his pockets and rocked back on his heels. Well, this was going
