Excerpt:

“It wasn’t that I didn’t think about you before,” he said; “I felt good just sitting next to you, and you only cared about me getting better and going back to the wood. I thought about touching you, but I knew I’d scare you, and that would be the end of the porch sitting, and I didn’t want Brock to kill me.”

Oh, maybe he did have a sense of humor after all. And he could cook. She might be one of the few women who’d take that into consideration. “Are you sure?” She didn’t want a man who had to be dragged into marriage like a horse being dragged into the corral to be broken. “You don’t want to take another year or two to make up your mind for certain?”

Joy V. Smith

Westward bound on the Oregon Trail, Lorena Emerson is alone after her uncle is killed. Ignoring the wagon master's advice to go home, she rounds up others needing help, and they join a later wagon train, but down the trail, they leave that train; she's forging her own path again. And then she rescues Barrett Lee--with Gray Cloud's help. After this man from the wilderness recovers, he and the wolf leave--with a nudge from Lorrie. Will he return? Will these two independent people make room for each other?
