Trouble In Disguise: 5 (Eclipse Heat) - Plot & Excerpts
She’d always found his size attractive. “You’ve lost weight during your illness,” she remarked as he rolled the serving cart toward the bed. “Better skinny than dead,” Deacon answered. Miri retrieved the shirt she’d been wearing, making a moue of distaste at its damp, wrinkled state. “Wear one of mine,” Deacon suggested. After he parked the cart next to the small dining table in the room, he tossed her a shirt from his saddlebags. It was better quality than what she usually wore. She didn’t have to inspect it to know that Deacon’s shirt was custom made. The finished seams caressing her flesh confirmed the superiority. That in turn reminded her he was an educated man she didn’t want to appear a fool in front of. Keep your lips sealed and you’ll be fine. Her audacity at being in this room with Deacon McCallister left her speechless. After a year of wistfully staring at her rival from afar, she’d done it—tasted forbidden fruit. Miri had hung around Eclipse long enough to ascertain McCallister was on the road to recovery before returning to the task of tracking the spread of phony money through Texas and the Territory.
