The Rebel and the Lady

By Kathryn Albright

Victoria Ruiz is on the run. Fleeing Santa Anna's army, which is invading Texas. But Victoria is a lady, of aristocratic descent. And this is no place for a lady. Jake Dumont is a rebel. A loner. And a crack shot. He's never stayed in one place for long. Never let anyone close enough to break through his guarded heart. Until now... When Jake lays eyes on stunning Victoria, he's rocked to the core. Here is a woman who will lay her life on the line for what she believes. Finally he's found something worth fighting for. The lady has stolen his heart. But can a rebel gunslinger claim an aristocrat as his bride?

Customer Reviews

Wow! Well worth waiting for!

I started this book late at night, after finishing another book. It was really late, and I was very tired from a long day, but let me say, I had a hard time putting it down. Right from the very first line, I knew it would be one of those books you can't stop reading. This morning, I picked it up again, and was on page 76 before I knew it. I've been constantly checking Kathryn's website to see when her next book would be out, having loved, "The Angel and the Outlaw". I was surprised after the first, to find that it was the only book to date she'd written. I patiently awaited her next release. Though it took some time, it was well worth the wait. I've heard how demanding agents and publishers can be, much to do with sales and timing. I've seen too often the results of authors pushing out books because of dead lines, etc. and producing books that are disappointing. I'd much rather have a long wait, and be happily rewarded with such a great story and writing, then to get those books one after another, but at the expense of poor writing. So way to go with sticking to only producing something great, Kathryn! You are bound to be one of those authors that are around for a long time, if you keep producing the incredible work you have. Thanks for inspiring me to keep writing. It's writers like you, who keep me driven to aspire to write great novels as you.
