How dare Ishmael speak to her as if she were a backward child? She could handle a gun, kill a rattlesnake, drive a wagon, chop wood, mend a leaking shed and do all a woman’s chores. She had dragged him out from under the boat, dressed his wound, nursed him through a fever and probably saved his w...
Curious gazes followed them. Buck hadn’t said another word, but his stride and his stormy expression gave off signals that somebody was in trouble. As the door closed behind them, he turned toward his desk, picked up the check that lay next to the phone and waved it in her...
After seeing Logan off for the day, she tidied up the kitchen, donned a modest frock with a loose-fitting jacket and sat down at the table to write a note in her neat grammar-school hand.

She swayed toward him as if she were about to collapse, but when he reached out and caught her elbow to steady her, she twisted away and stumbled backward, falling against a wagon loaded with straw. Sheet lightning glimmered through the open door of the barn, transfixing her pale face and wildly ...
She felt a rush of sensation—too sharply intense for her to decide if it was even pleasurable or not. Then her pulse went crazy as stark panic set in. Wild with senseless fear, she thrashed against him, fists flying at whatever target they could find. Shoving her to arm’s ...
The heat of the cudlike herbal mass reminded him of the mustard plasters his mother had used on his chest when he was a boy. But the concoction smelled more like a mixture of swamp mud, skunk cabbage and cow manure. “What the devil’s in this stuff, Mary?” he muttered. The older woman had taken a ...
