Harper's Bride
“Not a dime. You already owe me one thousand two hundred dollars and fourteen cents.
I'll forget the change, but I want the rest of it. Now." Melissa Logan stood just inside the door at Harper's Trading Company, a rough, two-story log building on Front Street. The combined smells of wood smoke, tanned hides, bacon, and raw log walls clung to the place. Holding two-month-old Jenny in her arms, she watched the tense exchange between her husband, Coy, and Dylan Harper. At the end of the counter, a ...friend of Harper's named Rafe Dubois regarded the proceedings with obvious bland amusement.
Twelve hundred dollars . . . Melissa could hardly conceive of such a sum. Although prices in the Yukon were unbelievably high, she hadn't realized that Coy had acquired such a debt.

He straightened his skinny length and adjusted his one suspender, clearly offended.MoreLess
