Hidden blood

W. C. Tuttle

Sinossi

“If I had rheumatism like you’ve got, I’d sure head for the hot springs. Yuh can boil it out easier’n any other way.”
The owner of Piute leaned back, braced his bony elbows on the bar, spat wisely, and squinted at the two cowboys, who were draped against the bar beside him.
“Hashknife” Hartley, a tall, thin, serious-faced cowboy, was standing on one leg, much in the attitude of a stork, except that his knee naturally bent the other way.
“Sleepy” Stevens, Hashknife’s partner, was of medium height, with a grin-wrinkled face and serious eyes. There was nothing colorful nor romantic about their raiment or physical appearance. They were clad in well-worn overalls, nondescript shirts, high-heeled boots, and sombreros.

As Luna hides in Vincent's world, helping in his flower shop under the alias Selene, the hunt begins. But when a delivery to her former university forces a confrontation with her ex-boyfriend, Marcus, and her own past, the fragile safety Vincent provides threatens to collapse.
