THE COWBOY'S BRIDE
“James!”
James shot up at the strident call, blinking rapidly.
“James!”
“Yeah?” he croaked out. What the hell? He was covered in hay. Had he fallen asleep in the loft? His head was pounding. He pressed the heel of his hand to his temple. “Damn,” he muttered.
“James.”
And the fury in the tone finally resonated. James looked up and found his father glaring down at him, along with the judge. “Pa?”
His father’s face was beet red with rage. The judge was clenching his hands into fists repeatedly. “What’s wrong?” James rasped.
The hay rustled beside him. He turned and met the gaze of Liza Talbut. Stunned, he reared back. “Oh, hell.”
