Hi everyone. How’s your weather? Sun worshiper than I am, I’m reading the gardening catalogs for early plantings, hoping we can consider winter finished and get on with spring.

Since my River’s Edge artist’s voyeuristic activities were exposed last week (last week’s scene) I’m finishing the scene in this week’s snippet. The Unlikely Gentlemen series found its name because of former gunslinger Edge Grayson’s  actions here. Last line last week–“Come down from there now or I start shooting.”

(From) Rivers’s Edge

“Please go away,” River shouted, and thankfully, the sound of her voice identifying her gender seemed to jar him a bit.

 

“You coming down?” he growled, lowering his gun as he pulled on his trousers and stepped into his boots before walking toward the willow.

 

“No,” she answered, estimating the distance to the ground from the limb where she perched; she might have to jump and run.

 

“Guess I’ll have to come up to meet you, then.” The tree swayed under his weight as he began to climb.

 

“I’d rather you didn’t,” she called to him.

 

“I’d rather peeping-toms didn’t watch me bathe; it appears we all get disappointed sometimes,” he drawled, his voice holding an unexpected edge of humor, as if he thought the situation funny.

 

“In point of fact, you’re trespassing,” River protested, prepared to defend herself with the broken pencil stub.

 

“That I am; beg pardon.” Hearing her words, he paused in his climb and instead of arguing or continuing up the tree, began a retreat.

River Prescott has everything she’s ever wanted – except perhaps a man. The unconventional ranch owning artist is very certain she doesn’t want a husband. But sometimes she can’t help wishing for a lover; especially after her new neighbor trespasses and she gets a full-frontal view of his assets.

Edge Grayson moves onto the rundown spread he’s inherited, expecting to stay aloof from nearby town business. But between local artist, River Prescott’s determination to seduce him and protecting her from a killer on the prowl, the ex-gunslinger is finding respectability a lot more dangerous than his former life of sin.
