“SHE was hot and thirsty and alternately angry and afraid.They had her mounted on a docile sorrel mare led by the silver-haired man’s more spirited gelding. Her hands were crossed at the wrist and tied to the saddle-horn. They’d taken her shoes and made unsettling promises about the consequences she’d face should she act in any way to impede their progress.They rode for hours beneath the blazing sun, their route taking them deep into the Texas Hill Country. They forded creeks and trotted across ...meadows painted orange and yellow with butterfly weed and Mexican hats. They pushed their way through a thicket of blackberry vines that snagged and stained her new dress. Pain radiated from Mari’s thighs, hips and bottom—it had been years since she’d spent this much time on horseback—but it took the ruin of her new dress to actually bring her to tears.Since one man rode in front of her and the other behind her, little conversation took place. It wasn’t until they finally stopped to rest that the men spoke of anything of consequence.MoreLessRead More Read Less
