Night Hawk'S Bride (Tyler) (Harlequin Historical Series, No 558) - Plot & Excerpts
“Marie Janelle, front and center this minute!” Henry’s voice filled the house like a cannon blast. “No need to shout, Papa.” She laid the last sweater into place in the bureau draw and pushed it closed. “I’ll be down in a minute.” “Now.” “When I’m finished emptying this last trunk.” She winced at the angry drum of his boots on the floor. Not even the thick wood ceiling between them could muffle it. There was no time like the present to start standing up to him and to change their relationship. His footsteps punched up the stairs and knelled down the hallway. Marie took a deep breath and lifted the last of her sweaters from the bottom of her trunk. “Good evening, Papa.” She crossed to the bevel-mirrored bureau. “It doesn’t sound as if you had a pleasant day.” “Not when I discovered you coerced my sergeant into taking you from the settlement.” “Coerced?” Marie saw her father’s reflection in the mirror behind her. Angry tension stiffened him like a well-seasoned board, and his face was ruddy.
