Priscilla
Widows
of Wildcat Ridge Series
Book One
by Charlene Raddon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Historical Romance (Western)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
After
losing her father and husband in a mine disaster, Priscilla Heartsel faces
poverty and eviction from her home by a heartless mine owner. Tricked into a
bank robbery gone wrong, Braxton Gamble finds himself shot and unconscious in
Priscilla's bed. Can they survive long enough to find a love more precious than
gold?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT TWO:
After
the disaster, the women had acquired a school bell which they mounted on a pole
in the center of town by the jail, with a long rope hanging down so anyone
could ring out a warning if trouble showed up, like outlaws or Indians. But the
bell was too far away, and her problem less serious than outlaws or Utes.
Or
was it? She had no idea who might be in her room. The erratic footprints
indicated the intruder was ill or injured. How dangerous could an injured man
be?
A
dash to her father's room armed her with his army revolver from his desk. Her
husband had taught her to shoot. If the intruder intended to ravage her, he
would be disappointed. She'd shoot him before she'd allow that.
A
cautious peek inside her room showed nothing, only half the space being visible
from where she stood. Taking a deep breath, she slipped around the corner, gun
held ready.
A
strange man lay on her bed, face-down, asleep or unconscious. His boots, coat
and shirt lay crumpled on the floor. A gun-belt encircled his hips, the gun
beside his hand. Congealed blood pooled beneath him staining her coverlet. He
appeared dead.
A
scream rose to her throat. She swallowed it. One did not scream indoors.
She
picked up his Walker-Colt six-shooter and deposited it in a drawer of the bedside
table and slipped her father's gun into her skirt pocket.
Standing
back from the bed, she prodded him with a cold poker from the small stove in
her room. "Mister? Can you hear me?"
He
didn't stir.
"Mister?"
She stepped closer and poked him again, terrified he would jump up and grab
her.
Nothing.
Lord have mercy, she had a dead man in her bed!
She
returned the poker to its place by the stove. A blanket. Or a sheet. She needed
something to cover him with. A summer blanket from the trunk at the foot of her
bed would suffice. As she laid it over him, he moaned.
He
was alive!
Unconscious,
but alive.
