Love Letters in the Wind: Available is Various Formats
Print and eBooks are available here. More options can be found here. She woke with the sense someone was watching her — she was right... Casey didn’t know how long she’d been asleep. She sat up, rubbing her eyes and staring into the unsmiling face of a man on a huge, black and gray speckled horse. For a moment, she credited her imagination. Had she been dreaming? He seemed too big to be real. No, this man’s sudden appearance at their picnic in the woods was not a part of her imagination, she couldn’t have dreamed up anyone like him. She looked toward Jake who still slept, curled in a ball, hands clasped beneath his cheek. Nothing would wake her son until he was finished sleeping. Casey leaped to her feet, hands on hips, ready to do battle. With a mouth lined in cotton, she had a hard time swallowing. Her pulses raced, and the vein in her neck throbbed. He sat easily on the horse. With his dark green wool shirt tucked in the waistband of tight, well-worn jeans and boots firmly placed in the saddle stirrups, he could have stepped from the pages of a western novel. His eyes, the color of coffee, were fringed with sooty black lashes. Observing the stranger’s impassive, stony visage, she worried about Jake. Would he wake up at the wrong time? She wondered what to use for a weapon if she had to. The man swept off his hat, gesturing with it toward the canyon walls. “This is Tyree land. What are you doing here?” His voice was deep, coming from his wide chest. Definitely unfriendly. |
