Beautiful Bandit by Loree Lough


Josh Neville is a quiet, even-keeled rancher who was minding his own business when he witnessed a brazen bank robbery in San Antonio that left three men dead. Even more shocking than the heist itself is that the ringleader looked like a woman!

Having escaped a gang of robbers who forced her to participate in a bank heist, Kate Wellington adopts an alias and decides to flee to Mexico. Lost and hungry, she stumbles into the camp of a cowboy who offers to escort her across the border. But when she injures her ankle, the kindly rancher takes “Dinah” home to heal at his ranch on the outskirts of Eagle Pass, instead.

As the two grow closer, Josh realizes he’s fallen in love with the secretive Dinah, but when the truth about her past comes out, will he put his life at risk to keep her with him?
