Gunpowder Tea (The Brides Of Last Chance Ranch Series) - Plot & Excerpts
No loitering sober in a saloon or reading a newspaper on a horse. Annie stood outside the corral watching Brodie put a palomino through its paces. The wrangler didn’t talk much but he had a way with horses. His long sandy hair, tied back with rawhide, swung back and forth like a mare’s tail. A scraggly beard made him look older than his years, which she guessed was probably early thirties. A shadow drew her attention away from horse and trainer. Branch had sidled up next to her. He hung his hands over the top fence rail and rested a boot on the lower one. “I trust you enjoyed your trip to town.” She peered at him from beneath the brim of her hat. “Yes, very much so. I dropped by the marshal’s office.” After a moment she added, “It’s always nice to drop in on other gang members.” He looked momentarily surprised but quickly recovered. “Yes, isn’t it?” He neither confirmed nor denied the marshal’s involvement, but what she didn’t understand was his surprise. Did he think her so dumb that she couldn’t figure out how he escaped jail?
