Excerpt

In this scene, Gretchen has learned that her tickets to freedom are fakes and fears the sheriff might send her back to the poorhouse. Kian invites Gretchen to stay with him.
Gretchen scrubbed at her face. “Vill he take me to another vorkhouse?”
A lock of mahogany hair trailed down her back. The silken lock brushed against his finger. He’d forgotten how soft women were.
“No. Ya’ll stay here. With me.” He could take care of her just as well as any workhouse. And she’d have more to eat. Most days, anyway.
Her eyebrows arched and she held her breath. She leaned forward in her seat. “Vith you? In this fine house?”
He blinked. She obviously thought he meant for some time. He’d meant until the weather cleared. Or did he?
“Yea.” The money collected for her fare burned a hole in his pocket. But she had family out there, waiting. Then why hadn’t they picked her up? She obviously wasn’t accustomed to looking after herself.
Kian could look after her.
And in return, she could cook and clean and tend the children. Yes. He mentally snapped his fingers. His children liked her. If Gretchen stayed, his late wife’s parents would stop harassing him about custody. Once things settled down into a routine, he could send her to her family.
It was a perfect plan.
