Contains 5 stories
The Perfect Cowboy!
8 pp · Romance, Western-Frontier

A starry-eyed cowgal grows tired of her hometown sweetheart Tom Jennings's rough ways—until movie star Buck Wilson rolls into Little Bend to film a picture, and she's cast as his leading lady. When Jennings challenges the famous cowboy to ride an untamed bronc, Buck proves he's more than just a handsome face on screen, leaving Jerry caught between the man she's always known and the hero she's always dreamed of. But sometimes the perfect cowboy isn't quite what he seems, and small-town loyalty runs deeper than Hollywood romance.

Lovin' or Feudin'
8 pp · Romance, Western-Frontier

A young woman finds herself caught between two men on a treasure hunt through the Nevada wilderness—her father's wealthy guide Bradbury, whose mountain strength and fierce conviction won't let her resist him, and Roger Nicholson, the fortune hunter her father brought along to test. When the search finally leads them to a hidden cave full of jewels, the dynamite blast meant to open it triggers a catastrophe that traps them all inside, and Bradbury must choose between his pride and his devotion to save them. Amid rockfall and desperation, buried feelings surface—and Bradbury's true character is revealed when danger demands more than just a kiss and commanding words.

Cupid's Corral
8 pp · Romance, Western-Frontier

When a drifting cowhand named Dusty Maclane stops at Peg Forrest's ranch for water, she impulsively hires him—only to find herself falling for the freedom-loving stranger even as suspicion clouds her judgment when rustlers strike nearby. As Peg struggles between doubt and growing affection, she'll have to decide what she truly believes about the man who's stolen her heart, and how far she's willing to go to protect him.

Bartered
8 pp · Romance, Western-Frontier

A young woman finds herself bartered away to a wealthy rancher by her father—a desperate bargain to secure land and ensure her future—only to have her resolve tested when she encounters a charming drifter who stirs her heart in ways she never expected. As Carole prepares for a marriage of convenience, fate keeps drawing her back to the stranger from the trail, forcing her to reckon with what she truly wants versus what duty demands. A frontier tale of longing and choice set against the backdrop of the Circle-M spread.

The Yearling Years!
8 pp · Romance, Western-Frontier

Three childhood friends—Red Craven, Tim Hollister, and Jeanie Godfrey—discover that the carefree days of their youth are behind them when romantic feelings begin to complicate their bond. As jealousy and unspoken emotions threaten to tear the trio apart, each finds themselves caught between loyalty to their friends and the pull of the heart. In the frontier setting of Angel's Canyon, the question becomes whether these three can navigate the dangerous territory of growing up without losing what they once shared.
