For the Brave
by Holly Bush

GENRE: Historical Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
1869
– Matthew Gentry joined the Confederate Army at eighteen years of age after an
argument with his father, leaving Paradise, his Virginia home and famed horse
breeding stables, for the fields of Gettysburg. Having survived the War Between
the States, Gentry is haunted by the violence and inhumanity of the war. He
continues to roam the country long after the conflict is over, finding solace
in the arms of soiled doves and at the bottom of whiskey bottles. Finally
traveling home after learning of a family tragedy, he nearly loses his life in
a spring-flooded riverbed.
Annie
Campbell, lone survivor of her family, lives at a remote farm near the North
River, raising pigs and trying to grow enough to feed herself, and to stay out
of the crosshairs of the Thurmans, violent men who run the town of Bridgewater.
Annie’s secrets threaten her safety, even as she rescues and nurses Matthew
Gentry.
Matthew knows he must return to Paradise, to grieve with his
family. Will his heart lead him back to Bridgewater and Annie Campbell?

EXCERPT TWO:
Matt
saw a path on the right, running parallel to the water, through a rocky area
that led away from the sharp incline and loose boulders. Rain started to fall
and the mud slid out from under his and Chester’s feet. He called to Ben until
his voice was hoarse and made his way slowly to the safer path to his right. He
looked back and watched rocks and stones tumble forward, hitting Ben and making
his horse shy back and rear up as much as it could on the narrow path.
Matt
slid out of the saddle and struggled to turn himself and Chester around to get
back to where Ben was held up. The rain was coming down steadily now and Matt
went down hard on his shoulder when his boot slipped. He sat up, now thoroughly
soaked and mud covered, turning just in time to see Ben’s horse fall as his
hooves came out from under him, landing on his side, kicking Ben, and sliding
toward the raging river. Ben stood, reaching out, as if he could pull a
thousand pounds of horse upright. A large boulder behind Ben shifted and began
to bounce and roll toward him. Matt shouted and started down the hillside, off
the trail, desperate to get to the other man in time. It was of no use, he
knew—he was twenty or thirty feet away—but he clamored down anyway, slipping
and struggling, watching as the rock slammed into Ben’s legs, pinning him
against another rock and then rolling on toward the river.
He
heard Ben’s screams over the sounds of the rushing water. He hurried the last
ten feet as quickly as he was able and fell to his knees.
“Ben!”
“My
leg! God! Look at my leg!”
He
held Ben’s shoulders still as he looked at a bone that had poked through Ben’s
pants. He wanted to vomit. He wanted to climb back up to Chester and get off
the hillside. He wanted a whiskey. He pulled his belt from his pants and pulled
it tight above the exposed shinbone on Ben’s leg. He looked up to see Chester
lose his footing as he followed his whistle, the horse forced to leave the
trail and pick through the stones and moving rocks.
