A Fire Within (These Highland Hills, Book 3) - Plot & Excerpts
Caitlin startled and pushed herself to a sitting position. Anxiously, she scanned the area in the direction of the trees where Dar had claimed the intruders to be.There came scuffling sounds. Fists thudded on unprotected flesh, then the sharp rasp of steel on steel. Another cry. Then the sound of someone crashing to the ground.Two, she mentally counted. If her prayers were being answered, Dar had finished off two of the men. But how many more must he yet fight? Another one or two assailants?A sudden thought struck her. What if these men weren't brigands but had come to rescue her? She had only Dar's word that they meant them harm. What if they, instead, had hoped to minimize injury to her by trying to take Dar unaware while they slept?Muttering in disgust at her gullibility, Caitlin shook free of her bonds and dug beneath her skirt to grasp the knife. There was no further reason to pretend she was a helpless captive. Indeed, it was best to ready herself for what was likely an imminent rescue.
