Railroad! Collection 3 (The Three Volume Ombinus)
Page 39
Crossing her arms, Lelanea appeared about as happy as Dodger did about the notion of marriage; her jaw set in defiance, her lips pressed together tightly, her eyes wide. In other words, she was none too pleased.
“Well then,” Mr. Torque said with a velvety purr backing his voice. “I take back what I said about the plan being stupid. This just got a whole lot more interesting.”
“Him marry her?” Sarah said, then let out a soft tittering giggle, as if it were the funniest thing she had ever heard in all her short days.
Dodger had no idea what this was all about, but one thing was for sure. There was no way on any god’s green earth he planned on exchanging matrimonial vows with Lelanea Dittmeyer. Much less parlaying that marriage into swelling anyone’s ranks.
By a large margin or otherwise.

Other Works by Author Tonia Brown:
Badass Zombie Road Trip
Jonah has seven days to find his best friend’s soul after losing it to Satan, or risk losing his own. Before it's all said and done, he drags a zombie across the country, picks up a hitchhiking stripper who has an agenda of her own, and is pursued for a crime he didn’t commit, all while dealing with the occasional visit from The Prince of Lies himself.
2,000 miles. Seven days. Two souls. One zombie. And Satan.
It's going to be a hell of a trip.
