“Hello,” he said as she arrived at his side.
“Benjamin, are you—”
“We are standing at the altar, Primrose, in front of hundreds of guests. Yes, I am sure I want to marry you, there is no need to keep asking me.”
She had done so every day since he’d told her he loved her. Ben understood why. Primrose had never been loved before and was just getting used to the concept. He would keep reassuring her until she was.
The minister cleared his throat, but Ben ignored him. He took her hands in his and looked deep into her eyes.
“You are my life now, Primrose. My heart is yours to break, my sweet. Tend it with care.”
“Oh, Benjamin, I do love you.”
“Then if you are sure, shall we let the minister begin the service?”
“Yes, please.” She turned and smiled at the man who was waiting patiently. Faced with so much beauty, he smiled back.
“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today….”

Sneak Peek
SENSING DANGER – available now
“You're best to just spit it out, James. It can't be healthy to have all that angst roiling around inside a person.” Cam's voice carried to him.
Devon coughed and Eden muffled a giggle. James, however, growled softly and then ground his teeth. Neither action eased his spleen, so he spoke his mind.
“How dare you put your sisters and mine in danger!” James waited for the siblings to reach him. Each had left their position at his first word and now flanked him.
“They were never in any danger, Raven. In fact, my siblings and I did what we had to, to preempt just that,” Devon added.
“You allowed your sister to ride into danger, Sinclair—a woman!”
“And therefore, unable to protect herself, James?”
James turned at Eden's words; her face appeared calm, yet her eyes were not. The laughter had gone to be replaced by an anger that suddenly seemed a match for his.
“I did not say that, Eden—”
“Come, James, we are all interested in what you have to say.”
James swallowed. How had the conversation veered out of his control?
“Eden, it is our job to protect you, not plunge you recklessly into danger where—”
“I may break a fingernail, or perhaps my skirts would be dirtied?”
“If you will let me explain—”
“Dear Lord!” Eden gasped as if a sudden thought had occurred to her.
“What?” James looked up the road. Was there more trouble ahead?
“Imagine if I was all alone without one of my big male protectors and I had a stone in my slipper.”
Cam was now laughing so hard he was snorting. Sinclair just smiled, but it was wide enough to expose his teeth.
“I wonder, James”—his name should not sound so sweet spilling from her lips, especially considering she'd spat it out through her teeth—” if you could locate my needlework.” Eden looked around her as if it would magically appear.
“I did not mean to suggest you were unable to care for—”
Eden held up at hand to halt his words and once again, much to his surprise, he compiled. Her eyes flashed at him, cheeks flushed. She looked wild. A luscious wild virago, he thought, staring at her mouth. Hell, he wanted to close the distance and kiss her into silence.
“I understand your views, James, yet thankfully I have, for the most, forward-thinking brothers and do not have to adhere to them.”
“Thank you, darling.”
Ignoring Cam, she continued. “So perhaps for the remainder of this journey, you should endeavor to understand that I am different from the cosseted women of your acquaintance. Now if you will excuse me, my sister is calling me.”
Before James could react she had turned away from him, and he was sure she muttered “addlepated fool.”
Devon was still smiling, although he attempted to rein it in as James glared at him.
“A word of advice, Raven?”
“What.”
“My sisters do not take direction kindly. It is best to guide them as one would a bad-tempered animal. They are headstrong, intelligent, and spirited, and I would have them no other way, though I beg you do not alert them to that fact.”
“Sinclair, I would rather fall into a pit of venomous snakes than further acquaint myself with your siblings,” James snarled rudely. He then rode back to the head of their little caravan and refused to feel any guilt over his words. They had been wrong to take such risks, and he would not allow them to do so again while he and his sister were keeping their company.
