Damnation, how could I have been so naive and stupid? he railed at himself harshly. He should have questioned her motives a week ago. Now he was certain every clever remark, every practiced smile had been designed to lure him under her spell and make him a willing pawn.

Hell, he would have trusted her more if she couldn’t come up with the money to pay his fee and had offered a lame excuse about making monthly installments after she settled into a community and took a paying job. But his doubts had been festering since the beginning and increased when the Rangers mentioned the story of a woman named Natalie who had been abducted.

Now, his escalating suspicions and his overwhelming sense of betrayal hounded him to no end as he trekked toward Taloga Springs. If he had a brain in his head—and he liked to think he did, at least until he ran headlong into this witty, conniving female—he would go directly to Indian Territory to deal with the corrupt lieutenant. In his present state of mind, he might tear that cheating bastard apart, limb from limb.

His thoughts scattered like buckshot when he noticed the approaching stagecoach kicking up dust as it moved rapidly over the caprock that skirted the deep ravines and colorful canyons. Van snapped to attention when he saw two masked riders scrabble up the slope ahead of him. They tried to halt the stagecoach by firing their pistols in the air.

Just what I need to vent my frustration, he thought eagerly as he gouged Durango in the flanks.

“Stay here,” he called over his shoulder to Natalie before he raced off like a bat out of hell.
