She wants her brother, Caleb, to come home from the war to help her. She should have been careful what she wished for because Caleb didn’t come back alone. He brought with him a band of raiders he’d been running with. Now they expect her to look the other way while they use the edge of her farm as a base to commit their crimes. Well, she won’t do it. While trying to help a neighbor fend off the raiders, she ends up bringing home a wounded stranger who appeared out of nowhere to help them. Just her luck, handsome Tyler Beaumont is a marshal intent on bringing down her brother and his outlaw friends. 2 Excerpts! Unedited excerpt from Dare To Love Jessica aimed at the one holding another torch. Before he could throw it, she fired. He fell back with a sickening thud as flames consumed his body. She shuddered at the agonizing moan and awful sight. Smoke clouded her vision and made her eyes burn. Another raider returned her shots, but she ducked, firing back. Her horse bucked as a lighted torch just missed them, setting the grass by her feet on fire. She urged her horse away from the flames. Once she felt reasonable safe, she took aim, but froze before she could get the shot off at the sight of Caleb chasing Kay’s cows out of the fence. Was he protecting them or stealing them? The man she was aiming at was firing back at her. A rider came between them, directing the others to follow him. His horse bumped hers, causingWindrunner to stumble, taking her down with him. Before she could grab his reins, her horse took off, heading back toward the farm. She wasn’t sure, because it all happened so fast, but she thought it might be Wyatt…Wolf. Was he helping them? What did that mean? Damn, damn, damn. She hit her hat on her dusty pants. Now she had no horse. As she started toward Kay’s house, she saw Gil out of the corner of her eye heading straight toward her. As he leaned down to pluck her up, another man came up behind her, swooping her up in his steel grip. |
