Mustang Annie (2014)
““I demand an explanation.”
Brett plugged his thumb into his belt band. “Funny, I was going to demand the same of you. I don’t take kindly to having my wife shot at.” The possessive claim on Annie was a last-minute inspiration in the hopes it would call less attention to her than she’d already earned for herself.
“Then perhaps you should keep a tighter rein on her,” the lieutenant countered. “She had no business interfering in military matters.”
“You call slaughtering horses a military matter?”
