The Lawman's Surrender: The Calhoun Sisters, Book 2 (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
Any question Susannah asked was met with a brief, though courteous, reply. By the time they stopped and made camp for the night at the edge of a stream, Susannah was spoiling for a fight, if only to jolt Jedidiah out of his exceedingly polite emotional distance. The setting sun cast a pink glow over the sky as he steered the wagon off the main road and along a barely discernable dirt path through the woods. The horses, scenting water, eagerly trampled fallen leaves and broken branches, jarring the wagon so that Susannah had to hold on to the seat with both hands. Jedidiah finally pulled the wagon to a stop in a clearing at the bank of the stream, and Susannah gingerly climbed down, wondering if they had cracked any of the wheels in the horses’ mad dash to quench their thirst. Jedidiah merely unhitched the team and led the animals to the water’s edge. Susannah tried to work the kinks from her back, but her ponderous belly would not allow such freedom of movement. As Jedidiah worked with the horses, she tried to think of what she could do to begin to set up camp.
