Summary
In the candlelight, she wondered how much of her he could see. Hers was a body thirty years lived-in; could he find the scar that marred her left knee, or the smattering of freckles across her ribs? The deep bruising on her thigh and the dark angry welt on her cheek?
She could see him. For a flickering moment, she could see all of him.
He swallowed, taking a deep breath that stuttered in his throat, then placed his hands along the small of her back to draw her closer. The uncertainty in his eyes hadn’t gone away, though it had retreated back and allowed something else to take its place. Perhaps it never would disappear, not truly. Maybe it always circled, loping and low. When she leaned down to kiss him, she could taste the blood on its teeth.
When Rebecca Bentham appears at Horseshoe Overlook, desperate and on the run from the law, Arthur Morgan is forced to reconcile the man he is with the man he wants to be. Who is worth saving?
