Books with title Looking After Myself

Lily, an endearing and scrappy young woman, is as hardworking and independent as they come. Haywood is a tough Texas outlaw who likes his liquor hard, his women soft, and his life free of fetters. So when he promised he'd keep an eye on his jailed brother's young wife, he faced the first problem his .45 couldn't solve. Haywood would like to settle her someplace but finds it's not so easy to leave Lily behind. For one thing, she keeps coming up with what he needs: a horse, a gun, some money, the common sense he lacks. And when they journey together through the dangerous Wild West and he witnesses how brave she is, Haywood finds himself coming close to breaking the only law he has vowed to respect -- yielding to his desire for the one woman he knows he should not touch.

Looking after Lily is a burden Haywood Beatty didn't bargain for. Only twenty years old himself, he's been charged with the welfare of Lily, a sixteen-year-old mother-to-be and wife of his outlaw brother. But Lily keeps coming up with what Haywood needs. A horse. A gun. Money. Common sense. And before long Haywood recognizes that he has fallen in love with his brother's wife. "Good stuff . . . an intelligent, humane story about a guy with too much energy and too little sense. It rates an A."--Entertainment Weekly.
