Casey has been running with the Jenkins gang for seven years. It hasn't been her choice and she never wanted to hurt anyone. The reason she's stayed is because of her brother, but she now has abandoned the idea that he will change and leave the gang so she plans her own escape.
Morgan has been tracking down the gang for a while now. He wants to make each and every member of that gang pay, but he is especially after the leader, Davis Jenkins. When he sees that Casey has run away, he has plans to use her for bait to bring Jenkins out into the open. Things don't go quite as planned and Morgan ends up injured. Casey refuses to let him die and brings him to a doctor. Morgan starts to wonder if there is more to her than a ruthless outlaw.
Casey is determined to start over. She knows that there's a price on her head and now Jenkins is after her as well. Fearing that she will be putting the Doc and Morgan in more danger, she heads out on her own. Morgan and Casey know that something is growing between them, but Casey needs to put the past behind her before considering a relationship and Morgan needs to deal with his hatred.
I read the whole book, but I was never really invested in the characters. I'm not sure what exactly it was about this book that turned me off, but a lot of the interactions didn't seem plausible to me. Casey's journey around the south to find places to stay became tedious to me. The rehashing of her feelings was repetitive as well. I had the second book in the series, Lanterns and Lace, but removed it from my Kindle. There is also another book, Lightning and Lace and also one called A Texas Legacy Christmas. I don't think that the book was bad, I just think that it wasn't for me. It's a pass for me.
