Excerpt:
Jesse
grasped one of her hands and kissed the palm. “Tell Sol what’s happened,” he
ordered, “and do exactly as he says.” Then he let her hand slip from his,
and
his expression hardened. “And don’t come back here.”
She
knew his harsh words were his way of protecting her. But not seeing him or
knowing he was all right would be a far worse fate than anything else
she
could imagine.
Footsteps
echoed at her back.
“Whoever
heard of a female reporter anyway?” Jesse mocked loudly. “You women should stay
at home where you belong and leave the running of the world to
us
men.”
“Like
you men are doing such a great job. Besides, you’re big news, cowboy. And we
women have only begun to take our place in the thick of things. You
might
as well get accustomed to having me around. ”Jesse balled his hands into fists,
and he wore an expression of frustration—her message had gotten
through
loud and clear. On impulse she mouthed the words, I love you.
“Sheriff, get this female out of here. And in the future, I demand you keep her away from me.” His voice was cold, but she hoped the fire in his eyes spoke of remembered passion, and not anger. Sheriff Langford grabbed her elbow and escorted her non-too-gently away from the cell.
