The Prospect: the Malloy Family, book 10 (2014)
“Jo was beyond exhausted. She’d slept only a couple hours in the last two days and the emotional, physical strain was tearing away at her.
After they put the horse down, she was numb. The entire terrifying experience with the wolves had shocked her. Books had always been her salvation, the one true source she could count on. However, they did no good when faced with the snarling visage of a vicious beast. She had panicked—no, worse than that, she had been frozen in fear. Thank God Declan had the good sense to take action.
He had protected her, kept her safe and alive. Now they marched single file, not talking, not stopping, barely drinking or eating. They were punishing themselves. For what, she could only guess. Perhaps failing that brave gelding that had brought them safely away from the fort. Perhaps for letting their passion take time away from their journey. If they hadn’t taken the time to explore each other, they might have missed the wolves.
If, maybe and perhaps.
