“I know someone hurt you, Miss Ingram. It’s plain to see. But not all men are scoundrels.” He paused as he reached forward to accept the cup of coffee from her. “One day, you’ll come to realize you can trust more than yourself.” With a nod of his head, he left.
Charlotte stood in frozen wonder for a long moment, wondering if she had imagined the entire interlude. Interlude? She asked herself as she berated herself for being fanciful. Her imagination was what had led to her near murder. With a shiver, she faced the stove again, determined to forget Dalton. To forget his solicitude. His kindness. His constancy. For she knew it was always a pretense to entice a woman to do something she might have had the sense to decline.
She took a deep breath to calm her nerves. Instead, his alluring scent teased her senses. Musky, with a hint of sandalwood cologne mixed with sweat and the scent of horses. With a huff, she turned to the window and took a gulp of the clean spring air, determined to ignore any and all attraction for a ranch hand named Dalton.

About the Author
Ramona is a historical romance author who loves to immerse herself in research as much as she loves writing. A native of Montana, every day she marvels that she gets to live in such a beautiful place. When she’s not writing, her favorite pastimes are fly fishing the cool clear streams of a Montana river, hiking in the mountains, and spending time with family and friends.
Ramona’s heroines are strong, resilient women, the type of women you’d love to have as your best friend. Her heroes are loyal and honorable, men you’d love to meet or bring home to introduce to your family for Sunday dinner. She hopes her stories bring the past alive and allow you to forget the outside world for a while.
