“Marianne said, her lips pulled back into a razor slash of anger. She clenched her hands until her broken fingernails cut into her palms. Warm blood dripped to the thirsty ground.
She had fought the fire as long as she could before exhaustion settled in, and she’d collapsed near the well. Randolph had found her soon after, but she hadn’t allowed him to fuss over her. Keeping him safe was the only thought in her head when she’d sent him to fetch the sheriff. Grant County covered a huge part o...f southwestern New Mexico, but Harvey Whitehill made Silver City his home. More than likely, he’d be at home and able to help.

From the way he worked to keep his shirt tucked into his trousers and how his gun belt wasn’t fastened properly, she knew her son had awakened the lawman from a sound sleep. Whitehill still rubbed at his eyes and grumbled.
In the midst of the burned-out house, Marianne poked through embers to find what she could salvage.MoreLess
