The Bounty
Prologue 
April 1880, Cheshire, Wyoming Territory
It was, without a doubt, the absolute worst day of Nicky Malloy’s life. And
every terrifying, miserable minute was her own damn fault. Her nose was
clogged, her eyes felt like she had a cup of dirt in them, and her throat was
raw. She could barely swallow her own dry spit.
She and her brother Logan were standing behind the main barn on the
Hoffman ranch, out of sight of anyone approaching. Twilight was setting in and
shadows were beginning to creep in around them.
“My God, Logan. I still can’t believe it.”
He grimaced. “Neither can I.”
“I should never have made you come here with me. Of all the stupid,
asinine—”
“Stop it, Nicky. I would have come with you no matter what you said.”
She wiped her clammy palms on her jeans. “What are we going to do when
Owen gets here? I know you can hear them coming. They’re somewhere near
Buffalo Pass.”
“Yeah, I can hear them. But we aren’t going to do anything about Owen. I
am.” He turned his face toward her. “You are going back up that rise, put those
two women on Shadow, put the boy on the saddle in front of you, and ride hell-
bent for leather toward town and the sheriff.”
She felt as if he’d punched her in the gut. For a moment, she couldn’t even
speak.
