Nine Lives

By Sharon Sala

They say cats have nine lives. Lucky for Cat Dupree, she's got seven left.

Bounty hunter Cat Dupree first cheated death when she was thirteen. The second time left her orphaned and scarred. And the only thing that will diminish her lust for revenge is finding the man who left her for dead as she watched him murder her father. She hopes to hunt him down on her current mission into the rugged deserts of Mexico–where there is no law to watch her back.

Without her knowledge, bondsman Wilson McKay is on the same job, and trailing Cat is the fastest way to find his man. He's willing to share resources–and the reward–especially if that means getting to know the lonely woman beneath her tough, take–no–prisoners exterior. Life's taught Cat that the surest way to land on her feet is to work alone, but Wilson might be the man to change her mind!

Reviews for Nine Lives

[chrissywest · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I was surfing around some websites about a month ago and was happy to learn that Sharon Sala had a new book coming out in November. I thought Cut Throat sounded right down my alley, so I pre-ordered it and started reading it as soon as it arrived in the mail. I got to about chapter 3 and happen to find out that it was the sequal to Nine Lives. I stopped reading it right away. I thought I better read Nine Lives first. I finished it yesterday and I must say, I loved it.I thought the characters were awesome. Cat was a character all her own. Talk about guts. However she was not the character I enjoyed most. That was Wilson McKay. He was charming. I chuckled every time he called Cat on the phone. He’d say, “Hey, it’s Wilson McKay calling.”I usually enjoy most Sharon Sala books - whether she writes as Sharon Sala or her pen name Dinah McCall, but I think this is her best, so far! I can’t wait to see where Cat and Wilson head in Cut Throat.
