A Lady in Defiance
“Granted, she was probably the kind of woman who could hold a grudge for a month of Sundays, but his magnetism, money and power were relentless persuaders. He had charmed feistier women onto their backs and this arrogant, self-righteous little belle would be no different.
On the way back to the hotel, McIntyre made a few more polite attempts to settle their little misunderstanding, but Naomi was having none of it. A stubborn woman, he knew she saw this as an excuse to keep him at arm’s length. H...e thought about reminding her of her Christian duty to forgive trespasses, but decided to stay away from that subject matter. Finally, at the door, he made one more attempt at putting them on some kind of speaking terms.
In his experience with Naomi thus far, there was only one thing that got her talking…anger.
“Look, Your Ladyship, there’s no reason to be upset with me.
This mix-up was not intentional. You assumed the land was part of the deal. I assumed you knew what you were doing.”
