The stubborn man had no sense. Any other man would be happy to have her working in his behalf.

Seeing no way out of the situation, Angela shed her nightgown and donned her clothing. She was just pulling

on

her

boots

when

Rafe

returned.

"All ready, I see. You'll have to make do with jerky and a biscuit until it's safe to stop to eat."

"I can wait. I lost my appetite when I was dragged from my bed in the middle of the night. Are you sure you

won't

change

your

mind

about

taking

me

with

you?"

"Not a chance," he said as he picked up the lantern, grasped her elbow, and guided her from the cave. Once

outside, he doused the light and left the lantern just inside the entrance.

Before Angela could form a protest, Rafe tossed her atop her horse and grasped the reins.

"Give

me

my

reins,"

Angela

insisted.

"I'll keep them for the time being. Relax, Angel, and enjoy the ride."

Rafe knew Angel was angry but he couldn't trust her not to bolt if he gave her the reins. Talk about stubborn.

He'd never encountered a more stubborn woman. Obviously, she hadn't a clue as to the kind of danger

Chandler presented. Strange, he mused, he hadn't even considered Chandler as a possible suspect in Baxter's

death. He'd run through a list of men who could have killed Baxter and Chandler's name hadn't even come

up. But once Angel had pointed out the possibility to him, he could see how Chandler might benefit from

Baxter's

death.

It was obvious to him that Chandler intended to take advantage of Angel's vulnerability. With Rafe out of the

picture and Baxter dead, Angel had no one to turn to. It must have occurred to Chandler that Kent stood to

inherit should something unforeseen happen to Angel. It astounded him that Angel had invited Chandler up

to the mine. The woman was a walking calamity. She needed a keeper. If he hadn't returned, Lord only knew

what

mischief

she

would

have

got

herself

into.

Determination to keep Angel safe stiffened his spine as he nudged his mount forward. Dodge City was but

the first stop in his pilgrimage to clear his name.
