Between Love And Lies
“For the last hour, Bat had been sneaking surreptitious glances at him. It wouldn’t be long before the marshal’s curious nature got the best of him. Then he’d start asking questions.
Questions for which Noah had no solid answers.
He’d endured a long and sleepless night since he’d paid Cora to leave him and Sadie alone, since he’d forced himself to leave Sadie alone to recuperate from her collapse. He wasn’t sure he could endure Bat’s questioning without confessing he might not have the strength ...to win both Sadie’s trust and her love.
He shouldn’t have kissed her, because he now craved a helluva lot more. But Sadie had asked. She wanted to be in love. Gertie hadn’t destroyed that longing.
He had a chance. But he was now a man whose patience had worn thin, his frustration ready to be unleashed on the first unlucky soul who rubbed him the wrong way. Not a good state for a deputy, charged with being fair and orderly…or for someone with a notoriously inquisitive boss.MoreLess
