When drifter Doug Jenson rides into Sunset Town and rescues Susan Forrest from a drunk cowpuncher, it ignites a spark neither expected—but Susan is already promised to Randall Davy, the wealthy railroad owner who controls the town. As Doug takes odd jobs around the ranch and their feelings deepen, a string of train robberies threatens to upend everything, and Susan must navigate the dangerous divide between the man her heart wants and the life she's bound to.

Love Feud
9 pp · Romance, Western-Frontier

A fifty-year feud between the Jackson and Barker clans demands that Janie Jackson and Lin Barker stay enemies—but when a chance encounter leaves them face-to-face, neither can deny the spark between them. As Janie struggles between her heart and her family's honor, a Saturday night dance in town threatens to ignite the simmering tension into open violence. With pencils and inks by Ed Robbins, "Love Feud" from *Romantic Western* #1 (1949) captures the clash of desire and duty in the Old West.

When a tall drifter named Rod Foster saves the Ames ranch from rustlers one night, Laura finds herself drawn to his quiet strength and kindness—but her world grows complicated when her brother's former foreman, Ed Seamer, returns with a possessive interest in both the property and Laura herself. As Rod settles into ranch work alongside Laura and Ted, a dangerous tension builds between the stranger and Seamer, leaving Laura caught between a man she's beginning to trust and one who claims to protect her interests. Will the bond forming between Laura and Rod survive the shadow Seamer casts over their future?
