Never Let You Down: the Connaghers, book 4
“Without any other nearby houses—that might sully the mayor’s view—Ransom had taken cover beneath the stone bridge that carried all town traffic up to the mayor’s abode. Wet and dank and dark, his hiding place was far from comfortable, but at least he was out of sight and the water was low, barely a trickle. So he could easily hear footsteps or riders as they approached.
The jingle of spurs was unmistakable. Granted, there were probably a dozen other cowboys in town who might wear spurs, but Ransom thought it was a pretty safe bet to guess the sheriff stood on the bridge above him. A waft of cigar smoke told him that Brazen was at least going to stay a few minutes where he could smoke in peace, and more, that Victorious wasn’t with him.
It wasn’t long before Ransom heard another person approaching, this time following the stream down the hill rather than the road. Grateful for the darkness, he pressed his back against the stone.
