Lily, a Love Story — Cindy Bonner

Lily DeLony is the properly brought-up daughter of a hardworking, God-fearing, firm-as-a-rock father. Marion "Shot" Beatty is the youngest of the infamous Beatty brothers gang, the terror of McDade, Texas, in the year 1883. The odds are against their ever meeting, but they do. The odds are against her ever heeding his honey-sweet tongue, but she does. What happens when they defy all odds to come together makes for the most heart-wrenching, exuberant novel of love made fresh and the wild West made new that you have ever read.
