“Coercing?”

“Um-hum. The same kind the old Laird used with ye and Payton might work.”

Harrison frowned. “I couldn't possibly strike Brianna.”

“I'm not speakin' of beatin' her senseless. Just a few no-nonsense smacks on her rump with that fine paddle of your granddaddy's should make her see the right of things.”

“I don't think so. It will likely make things worse between us.”

The older man shrugged. “Then just threaten ye'll toss up her skirts. Maybe just a warnin' will do the trick.”

“Perhaps,” Harrison said thoughtfully, as Stanton left. Of course, he couldn't tell his coachman that he'd already threatened her aplenty, to no avail. He turned to the window once more and swore when he saw Brianna tugging on Challenger's reins as she led him from the stables. “My God! That blasted woman!” He charged across the room and out the door, all the while thinking she'd kill herself if she managed to get on Challenger's back. He ran down the hallway to the front door, wondering all the while how she'd managed to get him bridled since he rarely allowed anyone near him.

He saw Stanton heading for the kitchen and he shouted, “She's got Challenger!”

“What?” The older man's eyes widened as he rushed to the front door on Harrison's heels. “How in the world did she—”

“I have no idea! I've reconsidered your advice. Head her off if you can and I'll be along shortly.” He swiveled on his heel and headed for the kitchen.

Stanton nodded. “Aye, now she'll soon be seein' the sense of things.” Purposefully, Stanton headed out the front door as fast as his short bowed legs would carry him.
