A lonely cowhand's heartfelt letter to a lonely hearts' club sets off a mix-up when young Sherry arrives in Wyoming instead of her aunt Carrie—and Roy Baker, suspicious that a beautiful woman spells nothing but trouble on the range, is determined to send her packing within thirty days. But Sherry's stubborn refusal to leave, combined with the unexpected spark between them, puts Roy's resolve to the test as jealousy and desire threaten to upend his carefully ordered life on the Double Y.

When Joe sets out alone to prove himself and track down the outlaw Ross Jameson, Kim must race against time to save the man she's fallen for from a landscape that's already claimed stronger souls.

Bordertown Lover!

Rita Valdez, the celebrated dancer at the Border Club, has made a sport of charming every man who crosses her path—until a cool American stranger named Bob Russell arrives and treats her with complete indifference, sparking a fury she hasn't felt before. When she learns he's searching for a dangerous rustler named Pancho, Rita finds herself torn between her pride and something far more dangerous: her growing feelings for the Americano who refuses to fall under her spell. Caught between two men and the secrets that bind them, she must navigate a web of cattle theft, violence, and unexpected desire along the borderlands.

When Jeff crashes Jane and Tim's wedding at the mission chapel with shocking revelations, a gun-totin' bride discovers that trust, loyalty, and the truth are worth far more than gold.

Yellow!
9 pp · Romance, Western-Frontier

When a killer horse throws Chuck, the toughest ramrod on the ranch, he's left battling something far more dangerous than any bucking bronc—his own shattered nerve.

This 1949 western romance explores what happens when courage meets its match, and whether a woman's faith can heal a broken cowboy's pride.
