Excerpt from Gold Rush Bride: Hannah
March 1829

Reverberations from the gunshot echoed among the hills surrounding Hannah Lauman’s property as she gripped the rifle and watched the cougar disappear through the trees. Winter had apparently not been kind to the gaunt and shaggy animal, prompting its boldness to approach the homestead. Fortunately, Quinn had taught her to shoot, so she could protect herself during the times he was away from their claim. Four-legged beasts weren’t the only predators she’d had to scare off after word got out about how much gold she and her husband were pulling from Yahoola Creek.
Despite a chilly gust that tugged at her skirt, perspiration trickled down her spine and pooled under arms. No matter how often she used a gun, she’d never get used to the thunderous boom or the weapon’s kick against her shoulder. She’d sport a bruise by nightfall. She reloaded the rifle, then leaned the gun against the clothes-line post next to the basket filled with wet laundry. She needed to be ready if the big cat decided to return. Would she ever get used to living so remotely?
