Whispers Along the Rails
“He wanted to believe Olivia had told him the truth. Had she actually been unaware Mr. Howard would be her traveling companion? Traveling companion. The very idea made Fred’s blood boil. His irritation mounted when he recalled Mr. Howard’s possessive grasp of Olivia’s arm. There was little doubt the man considered Olivia much more than an employee. And the angry glare he’d directed at Fred had been palpable. How could anyone interpret Mr. Howard’s actions as anything other than a man staking his... claim?
