The Outrider (Redbourne Series #5 - Will's Story)
“What could possibly be keeping him?
Elizabeth wanted nothing more right now than to get on the road and be on her way to her new life. While the idea of being a preacher’s wife still terrified her, it had to be better than being on the trail or worse yet, living out her life a spinster in the west. At least this way, she would finally be able to settle down in a quiet little place with a home of her own where there wasn’t drama at every turn. She hoped. She needed to be somewhere she would be s...afe. Protected. Somewhere she could live a good life with a good man, out from under the scrutiny of London society.
Safe, she repeated the word in her mind. Was that really what she wanted? To be safe?
How many times had she been in the throes of one of her novels and wished that she could have some of that adventure in her life?
Too many.
However, she knew exactly what it was like to be in the middle of excitement all right. Only it had been the kind that had landed professional boxers in her lap to be stitched up—something she had never been trained to do, but had done anyway—or nursed back to health after a beating.MoreLess
