Some instinct told Steven who the ladies’ man was even before Chloe spoke. You’ve been so curious about Mr. Fairfax, Fulton, she said, in an idle tone. Here he is. The banker. Steven got to his feet,...
Something is happening, all right. But it’s perfectly natural, Lily. Stop worrying and let me show you what it means to be a woman. Her
Steven didn’t see Emma again for a full week, and while he told himself it was for the best, he ached to see her every moment of that time. He spent his days pacing the room with Callie Visco under hi...
Steven didn’t speak again, didn’t try to erase what she was feeling. Instead, he found a comb in her handbag, knelt behind her, and gently began working the tangles out of her hair. Maybe the women of...
Steven laid Emma gently on the carpet of daisies to take the little flagon from her hand. She watched, half bewitched, as he removed the stopper and touched it ever so lightly to the pulse point at th...
Steven longed to comfort her, but he didn’t dare. After all, he’d practically called her a prostitute earlier, albeit by mistake, and despite the sponge bath he figured he most likely smelled like a m...
Steven raised himself on an elbow, plucked a daisy, and put it through Emma’s loose braid. He continued until a trail of white flowers paraded from her scalp to the place beneath her breast where her...
Steven’s patience had been taxed to the limits. He’d never in his life laid a hand on a female in anger, but he was sorely tempted to haul this one off to the woodshed and blister her backside.
That was then. This is now.
The miles between Tylerville and Spokane passed quickly, and the growing city was visible in the distance when suddenly there were shouts and the stagecoach came to a sudden stop. Lily heard Sam Hargr...
The moment he stepped outside, Macon materialized out of the darkness, as quickly as if he’d been a part of it. Just making sure you don’t decide to take to your heels again, Steven’s half-brother rem...
This is Joss’s place, he sighed, running one hand through his hair in a distracted gesture. He built it into what it is now, not me. Lily began to massage the knotted muscles in his shoulders, careful...
To Jacob, bleeding into the ground, in the midst of an endless war, that goal seemed more distant than ever, hopeless, even impossible. And still, had he been able, he would have fought on, died not j...
To keep him from finding out that he’d pleased her, she turned on the hard, narrow seat to glance behind her. Sure enough, a picnic basket was wedged into the narrow space. Tentatively she lifted the...
Touch her, he vowed in a low voice, and I’ll feed you to the gators, piece by piece. Macon
What are you thinking? Caleb asked, coming up behind her. She could feel his breath on her nape, warm and gentle. His arms slipped around her, pulling her close. That I envy Hank and Velvet, Lily said...
What will you do if Steven’s convicted? was his question. At first, Emma couldn’t face the thought. Then she allowed the nightmare to take root in her mind and answered. I’d go away—maybe to Chicago o...
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...
Why are you building that house, Caleb Halliday, when we both know you’re going to hightail it back to Pennsylvania and drag me right along with you? She couldn’t read his expression, but she saw that...
