Dangerous Ties
by Debra Parmley
Genre: Western Historical Romance
Lillian Hayes' fiance, Thomas Shelton, convinced the townsfolk to exchange their gold for his worthless bank notes. After he disappears with the gold, every eye turns to Lillian for answers. Even her cousin Carl insists she knows where the gold is. He is desperate to find it because he is deeply indebted to Kingston, small town criminal and owner of the local saloon. Carl will do anything to clear his debt; even torture Lillian for answers. Nick Brace is driving a herd of horses to town when he stumbles across Lillian, branded, strung up over a mineshaft, and left to die. He saves her, tends to her wounds, and teaches her to shoot to protect herself. But the danger isn't past. When Nick's horse-trading deal with Kingston goes bad, Lillian races to be the one to save him this time.
REVIEW
Rating: ☆☆☆☆
The harsh realities of living in the old West are very much at the forefront here. With the gathering of material wealth the driving force for most people of this time, anyone who gets in their way will be lucky to escape with their life in tact.
Lillian is on the receiving end of this repulsive behaviour when her fiancé absconds with the town's gold. Believing that she knows where the gold is, she is strung up, beaten up and branded. But even the old West has decent men: enter Nick, who saves her and looks after her. He shows her that there are some things worth sticking around for and that it is not all gun slinging and violence.
This was a fast paced, quick read that had a real feeling of authenticity about it.
