“Sweetheart, do you think this is the only
river you’ll be crossing?” he drawled. “When
we’re hundreds of miles from nowhere, there won’t be ferries waiting for you.
I’ll get the animals across.” There was a note of confidence, but not
arrogance, in his voice. Rachel took a step backward. Sweetheart! She glanced
around nervously, hoping no one had heard him. She stood much too close to this
man, who made her feel things just by standing in his presence. He was a
dangerous man, she realized suddenly, and remembered all the rumors about him.
Dangerous to her, at any rate. She’d do well to keep her distance.
