“I think my wife knows me well enough to be assured of her own safety.”
ОглавлениеThe sheriff cut an inquiring look at Faith. “You’re sure?”
Faith nodded.
The sheriff mounted his gelding and swung the horse in a half circle. “I won’t stand for any shenanigans, McDowell. Miss Faith is under my protection, so long as she’s living in this county.”
Max shot him a glittering look from dark eyes that brooked no interference. “I think I heard my wife tell you I was not a harsh man, Sheriff. Isn’t that good enough for you?”
“Max…” The warning was clear, Faith’s use of his name drawing his attention and obliging Max to nod agreeably.
“Don’t worry about the lady,” Max said. “I’ve never hurt Faith before. And I’m certainly not about to change my ways.”
