Placer
Second Rain

Book Cover & Preview Text
Rain stood surrounded by three men. Words had been exchanged between her and the largest of the trio. A red flush colored her cheeks. Her eyes narrowed. The corners of her mouth turned down. Her lips tightened. She whipped her leg around with a quick, graceful spin to take the tallest of the three squarely on the side of his face. The heel of her boot opened a large gash across his cheek as his head snapped back savagely. He staggered, fell against the table then rolled off onto the chairs with a crash. She twisted around again. The second of the three got slammed with an elbow to the jaw. He let out a yell as he fell back against the wall and his mug flung out of his hands. A trail of golden foaming beer splattered across the table to land in the laps of two dusty miners who looked like life itself had pissed them off.
They jumped up to intervene. Placer shook his head, patted the weapon on his hip and they grudgingly sat back down.
