The Texan's Reward
“EVERY BONE IN HIS BODY wanted to stay with Nel , but duty cal ed. When he’d signed on with the Texas Rangers he’d sworn to protect al the citizens, not just one, and if he didn’t do his job now, more would die.
“You’l check on her.” He shot the sheriff a grim look. “Twice, maybe three times a day?”
“She’ll be all right. You’ve got your hands full of worry already.” Parker reassured Jacob for the tenth time.
“She’s surrounded by women, plus she’s got Harrison and Brother Aaron to look after her. Near as I can tell, everyone in this house is armed, so don’t go thinking someone wil just walk in and harm them.”
“Maybe she’d be safer in town?”
Parker shook his head. “She wouldn’t go, even if we both ganged up on her and demanded it. This is her home.

Jacob knew. Most folks wouldn’t speak to Marla, much less Gypsy. They’d treat Harrison and the preacher like strangers.
