The Promise of Jenny Jones
Don't let the title of this book prevent you from reading one of the most moving historical romances of 1997! A tearjerker from the very start, you have no idea where this story is going to end up. Imprisoned in a Mexican jail and condemned to die, Jenny Jones hasn't lived a traditional life. When a dying woman offers Jenny her life in exchange for a promise, Jenny believes she has bested the barter. But one thing about Jenny--she may steal, fight, curse, and spit, but she doesn't lie, and a promise means more to her than life. Jenny Jones is one of the strongest, most compelling romance heroines ever written.
