Desperate Hearts
“Tom Hardesty, horned and hoofed like a demon, pursuing her with a staff that split open her arm with fire . . . Hank, awash in his own blood, struggling for breath to tell her about a bounty hunter with a killer’s reputation . . . a pair of ice blue eyes that fascinated her as much as they frightened her.
She didn’t know where she was, but she heard the soft, faraway sound of a woman weeping. Firelight flickered against her closed eyelids and the whisper of falling rain penetrated her confusion.... And whiskey, she thought she smelled whiskey. It was strong, as if it were right under her nose. Beyond that was the scent of brewing coffee. She took a deep breath and the nightmare visions receded. But her arm, that pain was very real.
When she opened her eyes, she saw the blurry form of a man looming directly over her in the darkness. He was wiping her face with something white. Gasping, she wrestled to escape while reaching for her gun. She found that not only was it missing, but her gun belt was gone, too.MoreLess
