I loved this book. I thought it was a great story - I couldn't put it down! I highly recommend.
Lily lost her childhood the day the Sharpe gang murdered her parents and 'adopted' her. They brought her into their world, and taught her how to be ruthless and smart. Soon, Lily the Cat was wanted by the law. But, in an act of revenge she had planned for twelve years, Lily betrayed the outlaws. And then she deceived Texas Sharpe, reluctant heir to the notorious gang - the man who loved her, married her, and defied his father for her. But although he desired her like no other, she used him - and his love. And he was about to show Lily just how ruthless a man betrayed could be..
