      “You know how to use that thing?”

      Kate VanNam swallowed hard as she raised the revolver. “Certainly,” she lied. “I’m an excellent—”

      Before Kate could finish her sentence, Sheriff Travis McCloud had taken the gun away from her and then pulled her up against him. “Never aim a weapon unless you mean to fire it. You hear me?” he asked.

      “Yes.”

      “Damn it to hell, I knew it.”

      “Knew what?” she asked, intensely aware that his slim hips and long legs were pressed flush against hers. She could feel the heat radiating from him, making her own body warm.

      “That you’d be trouble. You are trouble. You’ll cause trouble. For yourself. For me.”

      “That’s a lot of trouble, Sheriff.”

      “Too much trouble,” he said, releasing her before he placed the revolver on the sofa bed. “Why don’t you pack up and leave before somebody gets hurt?”

      “I am staying in Fortune, and if you don’t like it I’d suggest you stay out of my sight.”

      Both annoyed and amused by Kate’s determination, Travis raised his hands in surrender. “Fine, Miss VanNam, but if I catch you anywhere near a saloon or out on the streets after dark, you’re going to jail.”

      “Fair enough, Sheriff,” Kate said. “And if I catch you anywhere near this house after dark, I’ll be forced to shoot you.”
