I wake up with a gun between my eyes.
"Belle Reed, ya dang strumpet, get yourself up," a voice says.
The pistol smacks into my forehead, and then I see him, the owner of the voice. The man who killed my husband. The man who's here to do the same--or worse--to me: Frank West.
He's here with his cronies, of course; a bunch of mean-faced men with hungry eyes. Eyeing me as wolves a lamb. Hungry--for blood.
Belle Reed was called the Bandit Queen for good reason.
She wakes up with a gun in her face, and that's just the start of it. The clock is
ticking for Belle and her children, she is on the run from the sheriff, and she is pregnant with her criminal dead husband's child.
The Starr clan is the only place she can go and yet, doing what they demand in order to be accepted may just be the ruining of her.
Meanwhile she is battling a growing attraction to the one man who could make all her efforts in vain...Sam Starr.
"Pursued" mixes some good Old West action with a dash of romance, as well as fact with fiction, based loosely on the life of notorious American outlaw Belle Starr.
Texas, 1874
