"Promise Me Today"
Fawcett Gold Medal Book, December 1992 Reviewed on 4/9/00 | ||
The three wily and beautiful McDougal sisters could swindle a man faster than it took to lasso a calf. But their luck was running out when the wagon hauling the sisters to jail came under attack by Comanches. Then a dumbfounded Abigail watched as Amelia and Anne-Marie were swept off by rugged rescuers - while she got stuck with an impossible twit of a shoe salesman, Mr. Hershall Digman. Stealing Digman's horse and riding to the nearest town seemed easy as pie - until Abby found top secret papers in the saddlebags. Why, the lying, conniving little sneak was a Confederate spy! To prove it, the man who came storming after her was no mincing dandy in a bowler hat but a devilishly handsome captain in the Confederate Army. Barrett Drake wanted his papers. Well, she wanted a ride back home. With murder in their eyes and growing lust in the hearts, they embarked on Drake's mission together, knowing that when fire and kerosene mix, the flames may burn out of control. |

| When the wagon that hauled the swindling McDougal sisters to jail came under attack, Anne-Marie watched Abigail and Amelia ride off safely with dashing rescuers, and cursed her own luck. She was abducted by a Crow warrior. No doubt Creed Walker returned the sentiments. It wasn't exactly a picnic landing in jail, hiding a cache of gold, and running from a horde of Mexican bandits. Besides, he knew Anne-Marie hadn't meant to shoot him in the leg. Like it or not, they needed each other. A bargain bordering on blackmail ensured she'd get back to her lovely larcenous sisters at Mercy Flats and that Creed would deliver the gold to the Union army. And along the way, if they didn't kill each other, the untamable warrior and the inscrutable theif might just discover love. |
"Promise Me Forever"
Fawcett Gold Medal Book, May 1994 Reviewed on 4/9/00 | |||||
Things looked bleak when the wagon hauling the swindling trio to the gallows came under attack.
But rescuers rode into the fray! Anne-Marie was scooped up by an Indian, Abigail got a prissy-looking gentleman...
and Amelia held on for dear life to the dashing figure of Captain Morgan Kane. Well, he was dashing until
Amelia confessed she was running from the law, and then the despicable man dumped her in Galveston. He did
redeem himself by rescuing her when she was kidnapped to be sold into prostitution, even disguising himself as a
notorious outlaw to fool her captors. Now Morgan, Amelia, and a passel of stolen women are all traveling up the
Mississippi by riverboat, fleeing for their lives. Not the perfect setting for romance - but Amelia, of course, has other ideas.
