Evan stared at Anya’s reserved self. Her meek demeanor pleased him very much.

For a moment, it seemed as if Anya was indeed his lover.

He shifted slightly away from the young woman but kept his arm around her slender waist. His arm was like a vice around the young woman that kept her in her place. His eyes were dark with anger, the message within clear. Anya was his. “Mr. Brown, you seem to not only have your eye on my land. You have your eye on my lover as well.”

He didn’t want to declare an open war when he wasn’t confident of his chances of defeating the Weltons.
