When Rusty Carson, the spirited daughter of a dude ranch owner in Arizona, sets her heart on Theodore Wade—a brooding city visitor who'd rather read alone than join the ranch's festivities—she finds herself rejected at every turn. Determined to win his attention and teach him a lesson for his indifference, Rusty devises a plan to make him the laughingstock of her "cowboy college," even as her heart aches with a longing she can't quite shake. As she pushes Theodore toward humiliation, Rusty must confront whether her scheme will win her the fierce love she craves—or cost her everything.
Among the Zuni people of the Pueblo, a young woman expresses her love through the gift of bread, while her suitor responds with a pair of handmade moccasins—customs that lead toward marriage and a household bound by tradition. This 1951 account explores the rituals and social customs that shaped courtship and married life within the Zuni community, from the intimate gesture of combing a beloved's hair to the challenges of newlyweds navigating family ties and tribal expectations.
Irene's restless heart pulls her in two directions when both Jack Marsh and Cliff Lannon ask her to marry them during a summer at the Bar L Ranch Camp—and with just one week to decide, she's caught between a man who makes her heart race and one who seems to understand her deepest nature. When a young camper goes missing during a pack trip into the hills, Irene discovers something about each man that forces her to see them in a completely different light. As the truth unfolds, she realizes her choice may not be as difficult as she feared.
When William Sidney Porter—the writer who would become known as O. Henry—meets the lovely Athol Estes at a dance in 1886 Austin, he finds himself hopelessly smitten with the town's most popular girl, despite her parents' disapproval of a struggling writer with uncertain prospects. After a year of secret engagement and mounting impatience, Will takes matters into his own hands, whisking Athol away for an impromptu wedding that leaves her in nothing but her oldest house dress and a grocery list in hand. This is the true love story O. Henry never wrote—the romance that captured his own heart and inspired a lifetime of literary devotion.
