Would-Be Wilderness Wife (2014)
“She’d thought surely the events of the day or the strange surroundings would have kept her awake last night. But the moment she’d snuggled under Drew’s quilt, which hinted of the scent of fir that seemed to cling to him, she’d fallen asleep, and only Maddie’s knock on the door had roused her.
“So off you go running away to live in a palace of cedar like David in the Bible,” Maddie had said, twinkle in her brown eyes. “Leaving your friends a-wondering.”
Catherine had hugged her tight bef...ore pulling her inside. “It’s fir, not cedar. And what are you doing here? How did you find me?”
Maddie had bustled into the room, picking up Catherine’s gown and undergarments where they lay over one of the tall, stiff chairs. “Didn’t you think I would raise the hue and cry the moment you went missing? It took a bit of persuading to get Deputy McCormick to move himself, and then I had to beg this skirt from one of the other travelers, but we started out before dawn and followed the hint from a lad and your Doc Maynard.”MoreLess
