Dangerous Ties by Debra Parmley, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

After Lillian Hayes' fiance, Thomas Shelton, convinced the townsfolk to exchange their gold for his worthless bank notes, he disappeared with the gold. Every eye in town now turns to Lillian for the answer to where the gold is. Even her cousin Carl insists she knows where the gold 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 if it means letting Kingston's men torture Lillian for answers. Nick Brace is driving a herd of horses to town when he stumbles across Lillian, branded, strung up over an abandoned mineshaft, and left to die at the end of a rope that is breaking. He saves her, tends to her wounds, and teaches her to shoot to protect herself. But the danger isn't past. She'll have to face the men who tortured her and show them she's no longer afraid. When Nick's horse-trading deal with Kingston goes bad, Lillian races to be the one to save him this time. | Dangerous Ties by Debra Parmley, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
