This is the next snipped from Heiress Bride, book two of the Matchmaker & Co. series. I hope you enjoy it and join me next week for the next installment.

She explained. “My accident was in a carriage. I was trapped inside for quite a while before they could get me out.”

“No wonder you don’t like riding in a carriage.”

They were at the buckboard. A simple wagon with a bench seat in front of a large flat bed with raised sides. The rear panel opened to allow for easier loading of freight or supplies.

“It’s not just carriages, but enclosed spaces of any kind. I much prefer the open air around.”

“As do I. The first fifteen years of my life were spent with my mother’s people. I slept outdoors whenever the weather permitted and sometimes when it didn’t.” He smiled and her stomach did a little flip.

He helped her up to the bench, lifting her as if she weighed no more than a sack of potatoes. She enjoyed the feel of his big hands on her waist. He made her feel feminine for the first time in a long time.
