The place sprawled across the top of a hill, and even though he’d never been inside it, he figured there were at least thirty rooms. Too many places for Peggy to be holding Donovan at gunpoint.If that was really what was going on.As far as Cooper was concerned, both Donovan and Peggy were suspects in this mess of an investigation, and he couldn’t rule out that they had partnered up to lure Jessa and him to Donovan’s ranch.Or maybe this was a ploy to separate him from Liam and Jessa.No matter which way he went, it could be a huge risk, but since he was the sheriff and a man in need of answers, it was a risk he had to take. Still, he’d taken precautions and left Tucker and a dozen armed ranch hands to guard Liam.Jessa was a different story.She’d refused to stay, insisting that she come with him as Peggy had demanded. Jessa had even played her A.D.A. card and claimed she needed to question both Donovan and Peggy. Since their argument had eaten up precious time, Cooper had decided to take the most hardheaded woman in the state with him.
