Give Me a Texas Outlaw - Hardcover

The Outlaw - Jodi Thomas Cozette Camanez lied about her fiancé - he does not exist. As her wedding day approaches, Cozette prays for a miracle. If her dying father discovers that she is pregnant and that there is no groom, there will be hell to pay. Then on the day of her wedding, a bandit breaks into her house. Desperate and with nothing left to lose, Cozette strikes a deal with Michael Hughes - marry her and she will give him all the wedding loot. But little does she know that he will also steal her heart... This is a really sweet story. I enjoyed reading about how Cozette and Michael actually grew to love and respect each other after they got married. Even though Michael was poor and not well-educated, I really liked how he well he treated Cozette, even though she was a "fallen" woman.
