In Too Deep –
On the banks of the Trinity River,
Sadie Pepperman is looking for a chance to escape the demands of her in-laws.
With her husband’s dead, they want her to marry her brother-in-law so they can
take control of her farm.
Suddenly, the peace of the day is
shattered when her best friend steps too far into the river. Rushing to save
her, Sadie meets a handsome stranger that ignites her dormant lust. She sees
her friend rescued by a steamship and backs away from Logan Jansen, only to
turn her ankle.
The agonizing pain leaves Sadie
with the inability to walk. Needing help, she offers Logan a place to stay if
he’ll help with the chores on her farm. With his agreement, Sadie adds another
problem to her list. Now, not only does she have to worry about how to bring
her crops in from the field and run her farm alone but she also has to fight
her attraction to Logan.
Can Sadie end her in-laws’
interference in her life,
run her farm alone,
and give love another chance?
Excerpt:
“Zack, damn it.”
The loud shout caught Sadie by
surprise. She scanned the shoreline and spotted a man. Drawing to a stop, she
threw on the brake, scouting the river bank.
Two horses grazed nearby. Their saddles, along
with other gear, lay discarded in a heap in the middle of a small clearing, as
if two people had camped there over night.
A man stood at the edge of the
clearing, turning at her approach. Dressed in only a pair of dark cotton pants,
he rushed forward. His bright, curly blond hair and his broad shoulders
registered briefly with Sadie but with her friend in trouble she didn’t let her
sway her from the problem at hand.
“Are you a friend of the woman who
is drowning?”
Unable to certain what to say to
the stranger, she nodded and worked to clear the lump in her throat. How did
this man know about Carolyn?
“Move over. I’ll drive. If we hurry
I should be able to save her and my friend.” He placed a foot on the side step
of the wagon and crowded onto the bench.
She quickly scooted along the
wooden plank, allowing him room to settle beside her. Long fingers closed over
the reins and he tugged the leather from her grip.
He didn’t wait for an answer.
Lifting the reins, he released the brake.
