To Tame a Renegade
“She’d thought her need was justifiable and was shocked by Dalton’s reply.
“I’m sorry, ma’am. I’d like to help, but I just can’t spare the men right now. A group of renegade Indians have left the reservation and are preying on the ranchers. Chiefs Cunning Wolf, Yellow Dog, and Snake have been running amok, stealing cattle and chickens and just about anything they can lay their hands on. It’s going to take every able-bodied man at my disposal to round them up and drive them back to their reservations.”
Sarah stared at the major in disbelief. “A little boy’s life is at stake, Major. Freddie Jackson is a dangerous outlaw. It’s your duty to bring him to justice.”
Impatience colored the major’s words. “Granted, ma’am, but my first consideration is protecting the ranchers from Indians. Once the renegades are back where they belong, I’ll give your request every consideration.”
Sarah fumed in impotent rage. How could Major Dalton deny her? She was living a nightmare.
