Lillian Hayes' fiance, Thomas Shelton, convinced the townsfolk to exchange their gold for his worthless bank notes. After he disappears with the gold, every eye turns to Lillian for answers. Even her cousin Carl insists she knows where the gold is. He is desperate to find it because he is deeply indebted to Kingston, small town criminal and owner of the local saloon. Carl will do anything to clear his debt; even torture Lillian for answers. Nick Brace is driving a herd of horses to town when he stumbles across Lillian, branded, strung up over a mineshaft, and left to die. He saves her, tends to her wounds, and teaches her to shoot to protect herself. But the danger isn't past. When Nick's horse-trading deal with Kingston goes bad, Lillian races to be the one to save him this time.

Dangerous Ties was a good quick read.  And you know it's quick going in if you pay attention as it's only 100 pages or so long.  This book has a lot going for it; good characters, a great storyline, a ton of potential...but for me the length made it feel rushed.  SO much more could have been accomplished with a little more length...(Get your mind out of the gutter people) it was all right there.  A little more character development, a little more plot buildup, and OK a little more on Nick...
I do have to say this is 100% teen approved.  There isn't any sex going on, it doesn't really allude to much either, just a little kissing a couple of times.  So if you're looking for your teen who wants to start a romance?  PERFECT!  It's short, easily readable and entertaining.
