Excerpt
“I enjoyed the most interesting conversation over dinner tonight.”
Her mood was light. Jared’s annoyance grew with her lack of interest with his whereabouts during
the stopover. “I was so enthralled with the conversation, I barely ate a bite.”
the stopover. “I was so enthralled with the conversation, I barely ate a bite.”
Annoyed with her chirpy disposition, he was harsher than he intended. “Who was he?”
She didn’t care for his tone of voice, her green eyes going a shade darker. “I don’t recall
commenting on who I ate dinner with, but how the conversation was interesting.”

“It might be wise to pay more attention to those you are talking to, instead of how interesting a
conversation might be.”

She took a deep breath to calm her outrage. “I resent your assumption I’m not capable of judging
for myself a person’s character, Mr. King. I’m perfectly able to handle myself.”

“Like you did last night?” He lowered his voice when other passengers gave them curious glances.
“You’re a woman traveling alone, and, to some, it constitutes an easy target, or do I need to make
myself clearer for you, Miss Ashford?”

myself clearer for you, Miss Ashford?”
As the heat rose in her face, so too did the heat of her temper. “And I’m supposed to take the
advice of a gunman?” Her voice lowered as well. “For your information, Mister King, and although
it’s none of your business, I did know him. His name is Robert Michaels, a journalist. He is
accounting the emigrants’ journey west. Our conversation concerned our experiences so far. He
was a perfect gentleman, but perhaps, you’re unfamiliar with the concept.”

The muscle in his jaw tightened, his eyes narrowing. Few men dared to test his temper the way
this little minx did. His temper strained to its limit, his tone sharpened when he spoke. “You
should know your facts before you make accusations, Miss Ashford. It only makes you look
foolish and emphasizes your youth.”

Mute, fire burned in her gaze. She stared at him, stifling a sudden hostility stemming from an
innocent remark.

Jared left his seat, and she was glad of his departure. She wanted him to stay away for good,
and yet at the same time, she felt like bursting into tears.
