Her Forbidden Gunslinger
“She perched on her knees by the open window of her bedroom and slowly opened her eyes to look down. Her bedroom faced the back of the house and the roof of the sunroom was just below. It was only a short drop down and then another to the ground. The tricky part would come when she attempted to purchase a ticket for the stagecoach.

The ache that had lodged itself firmly in her chest was still present and she feared it wouldn’t be leaving anytime soon.MoreLess
