Chapter 9
The flogging event at Ranchos had been a watershed moment for Lewis Denton.
It had given him an understanding in how Ranchos had evolved under the rule of his father; and the possibilities of what it might become under his guidance in the future.
Some of the established residents felt unsure about this new Mr Lewis who had mysteriously returned with Ranchos sole owner, Laura Denton.
Who was he? Where had he come from? And what did he hold in store for their future?
Lewis had become aware of these questions against him, that were never actually put into words; but could read in their eyes when he was dealing with them.
And none knew he was the son of Richard Denton!
And arriving as Laura Denton’s new husband, that was also something that had to remain a secret between himself and Laura.
For even in this rudimentary clan, their true relationship was taboo.
Laura had originally left England when Lewis had gone off to University.
She’d left to join Richard in South Africa; because he’d begged her to do so, and she could find no reason not too!
They had exchanged occasional phone calls over the years, and things were good. But then Laura’s husband Richard had been murdered!
Laura had returned to England with an ambition to entice her son out to Ranchos; because she could see the goldmine really needed a strong white bossman at the helm; ... and she was also desperately lonely.
What Laura had not planned though, was the pair of them falling madly in lust for each other from the start!
