What kind of Cowboy would capture your heart?
I love a strong cowboy who is willing to bend for the love of a good woman even when, and perhaps especially when,
she vexes him.
Sheriff Matthew Marston is that kind of cowboy.
Sheriff Matthew Marston is that kind of cowboy.
Excerpt from The Lawman of Silver Creek:
Impossible woman.
Matt turned on his heel. Long, quick strides brought him back to the bed. If she wants to walk all alone, fine, so be it. He pulled a boot on. She’s walked that path hundreds of times. He thrust his foot into the other boot.
Matt searched among tangled bedcovers until he found his shirt, shoving his arms in the sleeves. Without buttoning it, he returned to the door and paused. I should let her be. His hand hovered over the knob.
But what if-
Jaw clenched, he grabbed his things off a peg on the wall. He crammed on the battered hat and shrugged himself into his coat. Matt jerked the door open and stomped outside, letting it slam shut behind him.
Bright afternoon sun illuminated the sky. A few remaining clouds dotted the blue cover with grey. The sheriff headed down the path he knew Claire would’ve taken. Chilled air nipped at his skin, exposed where his garments gaped open. He ignored the cold’s bitter bite, focusing only on finding her.
Brush oak and scattered fir trees clumped on either side of the old trail. His boots made no sound on the thick mat of pine needles and wet leaves so he covered the ground quickly, unworried that she would hear him coming after her. Matt caught sight of his target in minutes. He slowed, following only close enough to be certain of her safety.
The half-mile trek cooled both his body and temper. When he reached her family’s land, Matt stopped at the tree line. He glanced back at the way he’d come, but couldn’t leave. His gaze returned to Claire, watching her cut across a field to enter the barn. He felt the urge to go after the stubborn woman and force the discussion clamoring within him.
If she would just...
Matt took one long stride forward then stopped, growling in pure frustration. Claire always dug in her heels when provoked, which in large part was how they reached this impasse. It would only make this bad situation worse if he backed her into a corner.
His gaze lingered on the oversized barn door. He leaned his back against a sturdy tree, reluctant to go. Independent and opinionated, Claire wouldn’t change her mind easily. Matt took his time buttoning his shirt up, lost in thought. He needed to come up with a different approach, one that would persuade her to come back to him, permanently.
As sheriff of Silver Creek County, Matthew Marson’s job is to look after his town. But when he fails to protect the most important person in his life, Claire, from an attack, Matt feels as though he will never be able to forgive himself.
Her husband-to-be’s newly found overprotectiveness drives the headstrong Claire from his arms. She can’t see a future with a man who won’t allow her to follow her dreams.
In a small town where everybody knows your name and your business, it’s impossible for the pair to stay apart, especially as Claire finds that she can’t completely turn her back on the lawman that she loves.
