When it comes to letting another man lay his hands on you, I have no honor, he said bluntly. She
When she arrived at her tiny house smoke was curling from the chimney and the windows glowed golden. Lily went up and stood in the empty flower bed to peer in through the glass, and she was incensed t...
When she stepped out into the cool spring evening Major Halliday was waiting for her. He tilted his hat. Evening, Miss Chalmers, he said. Lily glowered at him. What do you want? The major smiled that...
When she twisted around to face Steven, he was grinning at her. What? she demanded. Never mind. She realized she’d displayed her derriere, after a fashion, and the blood flowed to her face again. Skun...
When they reached Fairhaven, Jubal rushed out to collect her. I knew you shouldn’t have gone to that ole trial, Miss Emma, fussed Jubal. I tried to tell Mr. Steven that. You’s makin’ a baby, you can’t...
When will you be back? he asked. It was an odd question, Lily reflected, coming from a man who usually went wherever he wished without so much as a word to her. She shrugged. I don’t see where that’s...
Where am I going to sleep? Under the supply wagon, with me, Steven answered. We’d better turn in right now, because I want that herd moving at sunrise. Emma’s sense of propriety was a little belated,...
Where are you staying tonight? Caleb asked reasonably. Lily had no idea; her mind had been so full of Caleb that she hadn’t thought about that. Nor had she collected her savings from the bank in Tyler...

Who lived here? Steven asked, slowing his pace now that they’d reached level ground. Emma reached back to be sure her braid wasn’t coming undone. Just some homesteaders. I don’t know what their names...
You’re forgetting, her father pointed out reluctantly, that Steven Fairfax is spoken for. He’s got his eye on Miss Emma Chalmers. Joellen was horrified. That dowdy little snippet who runs the library?...
