Chapter 1
Kokomo, Colorado
October 1880
She drifted in with the first flakes of winter. The flurry served as an early reminder that the days grew shorter and chill. The aspens would soon drop their leaves of brilliant gold and copper, raise skeletal limbs toward threatening skies of pewter gray. The bitter winter season drew nigh.
Carruthers and other locals would quibble as to exactly which day it had been in late October. He'd swear he'd seen how the woman arrived?not by rail or stage, nor any modern conveyance, but walking in?calm and quiet, as though she belonged. She walked in without any bundles or a trunk, the trappings of someone on a journey. He hadn't noted the oddity then. Only later he wondered where she'd obtained her extensive wares and supplies.
No rail shipment or delivery came for an A. Malet that anyone could recall.
That was the first sign. Ambling into town empty handed. Deceptively peaceful, quiet like drifting snow, yet even more lethal. A man learns to respect the vagaries of nature. Knows his limits. The danger whispering with the sway of her skirts was darkling and mysterious.
The lady drifter came with nary a hint of her attendant vagaries . . . or warning that she'd come to test every man's limits.
