You are no longer welcome in this house, she said pleasantly. His smile didn’t waver, but he took off his disreputable old hat. Is that any way to treat a law-abiding citizen of Whitneyville, Miss Emm...
You can’t work for Big John with your ribs bound! she protested, when she’d recovered somewhat. How will you ride? I’m glad you’re concerned about my well-being, Steven replied in a voice meant to car...
You delight in making a fool of me, she accused in a furious whisper. Not true, Caleb replied smoothly. But I do like watching the sparks catch in your eyes when you realize you’ve just been had. May...
You done trifled with that girl, ain’t you? Steven swallowed a bite of sausage before answering. In a manner of speaking, he confessed, remembering the warm softness of Emma’s breasts, and the way the...
You have other choices, Lily, he muttered, besides grubbing in the dirt for a living. Lily stepped back, knowing she would drown in sensation if she didn’t get some perspective on things. She was enti...
You little idiot. How the hell do you propose to plow fields, fend off Indians and outlaws, and build a house all by yourself? Lily was wounded. Maybe I won’t be by myself, she said, wanting to hurt h...
You look beautiful, Caleb said softly, laying his hands on the sides of her slender waist. Lily smiled at his reflection in the glass. Don’t you try to flatter me, Caleb Halliday, she warned. I think...
You’re so much smarter than I am, Caleb. So much stronger and so much more persuasive. If I married you, I wouldn’t be myself for very long. I’d soon become the person you want me to be. He sat back i...
You squeeze on my hands, Jubal ordered when Emma shrieked with pain. You squeeze real hard, so’s to push the bones together. I never seen one come so fast, prattled Esther, who generally tended the ki...
You were the one who brightened up the dull days, Gram, Hadleigh thought now. You, with your love and your laughter and with that magical smile of yours.
You were wonderful, Caleb said, giving Lily’s bottom a little pat. Like I said, if it weren’t for me, you’d probably be dead. Caleb laughed and pulled her down onto his lap. Probably so. You win, Lily...
You're the one with the badge, I admitted, but I'm the one being haunted by a seven-year-old in a ballerina costume.
Your Lily is a pretty little thing, but she’s as fractious as my Susannah. Caleb grinned. It’s going to take two hands and all my wits to keep her in line, he confessed. Unwillingly,
Your bath is ready, sodbuster. Lily stood. I’m not going to bathe in the open, she said. All right, then, Caleb answered, pulling his shirt from his trousers, I will. No sense letting all this nice ho...
Your people back in Pennsylvania—what are they like? Caleb finished his work and turned to face Lily, his arms folded. Because the barn was shadowy and he was wearing that blasted campaign hat of his...
You’d like some soothin’, wouldn’t you, Mr. Fairfax? she asked in a sympathetic voice. A raw chuckle left his throat as he thought of Emma forcing this poor little minx into a calico dress and an old...
You’ll have to have a sponge bath before we go on, Mr. Fairfax. There’s a question of infection here. To her surprise, the recalcitrant visitor was looking at her in a different way—his hazel eyes wer...
You’re blaming me? Of course not, he said brusquely. But the whole thing brought me to my senses. We’ve made a mistake, Emma. I want you to go back to Chloe’s and forget you ever knew me. One of Emma’...
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?...
