Quote by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel

“Jase took a step around the desk, moving closer, narrowing his eyes. Rebecca placed her hands on her hips, defiance in her stance and voice. “My kids, too.” Two steps brought him in front of her. “You don’t have a job if you leave. Your job is here working the ranch with me. If you want to go, go, but don’t take off with my children. You can’t even fix them dinner.” When she turned, he took hold of her arm, hating this deceit…and loss. “Why, Rebecca? I’ve been a good husband to you.”

His other hand stroked the top of her head, his fingers tangling through her soft hair. He was large in comparison to her, and he did not wish for her to be frightened by him again, so he sent a faint tendril of compulsion to belay her fear while he whispered a few nonsensical words of comfort.”

“Creed must have responded in kind, because with a gasp, she broke off the kiss. Time crawled to a standstill, then shifted to a sprint. Nieve shoved the gun lodged between them into his ribs. His hand still covered hers, and with the well-trained instincts of an assassin, he jerked the gun to the side so that the bullet she fired embedded into the ground, kicking up dirt, and not in his heart.”

“The tight dress she'd put on was white with a pattern of green vines. Seeing Mavis in it reminded Wilf of a statue he'd once found behind a garden hedge. That pale, marble woman, stuck outside, all by herself, had been covered with ivy. He'd felt so sorry for her. It must have taken a long time for all of those green, leafy ropes to wrap themselves around her. He still wondered, didn't anybody look out for her? Take care of her? Didn't she matter to anyone?”
