A Contract Bride's Triple Surprise - Plot & Excerpts
He felt branded. By her action, she declared to the world she belonged to him. He slid his brown hand on top of her white one. He stared at it for a few seconds. He’d forgotten about their color difference. Did he need any more proof of how she affected him? How would others think? The banker’s wife would make sure she knew they considered her worse than Miss Lily’s gals. The only women he knew, other than Beth, had businesses to run. They would appreciate Amelia’s patronage. He decided to introduce her to all the shopkeepers. Mrs. Jennet looked down her huge nose at them as well. He rarely went near the shops. This would be a good opportunity to show them he could be civil. The MD and Rocking R spent a lot of money in town. An extra touch of manners today, and the shopkeepers would treat Amelia right. He turned to his left, past the assay office, bank, and the Jennet house. George Byers, owner of the chemist, dentistry, and barber shop, gave her a peppermint candy. She laughed and popped it in her mouth immediately.
