She’s
looking for adventure in the West, but discovers more. He’s sure he’ll never
find love, until she lands at his door. Together, Gabriella and Dirk will
discover a spark that even a blizzard can’t
quench.
Gabriella
Grimaldi is new to Whiskey River—a quiet frontier town, where those who dream
of a different life gather under the big, open sky. Escaping a life of faux
friends and duty, Gabriella forsakes her life of fortune and runs away. What
she gets instead is an education in the ways of the
world.
Not far
from town, Dirk Price is settling in for another long winter in Whiskey River,
when a lost young woman shows up at his door. In the light of the fireside,
Gabriella and Dirk find themselves unfreezing their chilly hearts and
protecting one another against not only the cold, but from evil forces. Can
they let love in, or will they turn away from happiness when danger knocks at
the door?
In the depths of winter under the weight of a blizzard,
return to the sleepy, snowy banks of Whiskey River, Wyoming, in
A Whiskey River Princess.

Gabriella shrugged as she picked up her
carpetbag and headed off toward the hotel, hoping they had a vacancy. She never
had to arrange for her own place to stay before. In Monaco, everything had just
been done for her, arranged for her. It just was and something she didn’t have
to think about. She sighed as she looked up at the hotel. It wasn’t what she
was used to, but it was as good a place as any to start. Surely, Mr. Carlo
wouldn’t find her there.
Suddenly, two men grabbed her arms, one on
each side, causing her to drop her bag.
“What’s the meaning of this?” Gabriella
gasped. When she looked up, two of the three scruffy men from the train had
her. The man with the long beard gave her a toothless smile. “Let go of
me!”
She heard a click, and something round and
hard was pushed against her back. “If you know what’s good for you, miss,
you’ll keep it down. Don’t attract any attention, or I’ll be forced to shoot
you right here.”
Gabriella turned to look in his eyes. “Then
go ahead and shoot! I’d rather be dead than go with the likes of
you!”
He grabbed a handful of her dark brown hair
and jerked her head back. “Listen, bitch! I’m warning you!”
“Get off me!” she demanded, but the younger
man on her right shoved his dirty hand over her mouth and pulled her quickly
down an alley. “Help! Let go of me, you brute!” she mumbled around his
hand.
“Shut up!” the man with the gold tooth, who
had been standing behind her, growled through gritted teeth. The young man
threw her over his shoulder and carried her toward a wagon where another
scruffy-looking man with red hair and a beard waited.
“It’s about time you got here.” The man
looked at Gabriella, kicking and screaming, and leered. “Hey! What do we have
here?”
“Payday,” the younger man replied, trying
to keep Gabriella on his shoulder.
“Help, someone!” Gabriella shouted as she
beat on the man’s back.
When she looked up, the man with long hair
who had been waiting for Kenzie was standing at the end of the alley on the street.
“Help me! Please!”
“Hold it right there,” the man who had come
to get Kenzie ordered as he pushed his coat aside, revealing two sidearms, one
on each side, tied down to his leg. “Let her go!”
The man with the scruffy beard drew his
pistol and fired, but the man with the long hair was quicker, and shot him
right between the eyes, which went glassy. He fell against the wagon and then
onto the ground.
The younger man threw Gabriella into the
back of the covered wagon, drew his gun, and fired at the man. “Go, go!” he
shouted at the driver and then climbed in, too.
