Wild Western Women Ride Again: Western Historical Romance Boxed Set
Page 51
“Oh Greg.” She kissed him again, still not caring who saw. Her heart was too full of love and longing for this man to stop herself. He kissed her back with every bit of enthusiasm that she’d had.
“We’ll have a rough start of things,” he warned her. “I’m not sure that we’ll make it all the way to Oregon now. I might have to sell my wagon and oxen just so we can eat.”
“I don’t care,” she said, squeezing him tight. “I’ll help you. We’ll build a future together, even if we have to scrimp and save to do it.”
“Then it strikes me that we might just be all right after all,” he said, holding her close.
“It’s nineteen dollars,” Conrad announced after counting the bills Greg had handed him. “And that whiskey.”
“Is it good enough for you?” Mr. Evans asked.
Conrad sniffed and scratched his backside. He spit, and finally said. “Yeah.”
“Then let’s go get that bottle and get out of here,” Bruce said.
Without another word, the two men turned to go. Darcy was so happy that she laughed aloud.
“I never thought I’d be so happy to have no money and no idea what I’ll do next,” she said.
“Me neither,” Greg admitted.
He lifted her right off her feet and spun her around before setting her down again and kissing her thoroughly. She hummed with the joy of it. Even the sky seemed to be happy for them. The clouds cleared up and the sun broke through. It was perfect. Just what she had been hoping and dreaming for. She’d made it through the rain and the mud and the sorrow, and now, with Greg in her arms, it felt as though she would never feel the rain again.

If you enjoyed Darcy and Greg’s story and would like to read more stories set along the Oregon Trail, then you’ll love my Hot on the Trail series! It begins with Trail of Kisses, the story of Lynne Tremaine, a woman under threat of murder from a vicious gang, and Cade Lawson, the man sent to escort her safely to the Colorado Territory.
And if you are interested in the life that Greg and Darcy built for themselves and where they ended up, and if you want to read about their son, Eric Quinlan, then my Montana Romance series, especially the second book, Fool for Love, is for you!
