The Darkest Heart (2010)
“This was what he had been waiting for. Like most towns, El Paso didn’t have a preacher, and the townspeople waited for one to travel through to hold services and weddings. If too much time elapsed between visits, couples would often forgo the legality and move in together, then make things right when the preacher did appear. Jack had never forgotten Candice’s threat that she wasn’t the first unmarried mother-to-be—with its implication that she could and would leave him if she felt like it. He h...ad been intending to tie her to him with a Christian wedding from the moment he’d found out she was pregnant, although he hadn’t mentioned it because he was afraid she would balk. Now he would make her say her vows at gunpoint, if necessary. Nothing was going to stop this ceremony from taking place.
It didn’t matter that the preacher hadn’t shaved in weeks, or, from the looks of him, washed either. It didn’t matter that he was standing outside the saloon, swaying slightly, obviously drunk.MoreLess
