Pregnant and burdened with a terrible secret, Jessica has left
England for the American West in search of a new life. Brady, a
hard-bitten rancher haunted by the violence of his past, is
desperate to protect his land and family from a blood feud that
has already claimed one brother. She’s fancy hats and
pamphlets on deportment. He’s rough manners and twenty
years of blood on his hands. An improbable pair. But after their
stagecoach crashes and Jessica is stranded at his high
mountain ranch until she gives birth, antipathy slowly becomes
attraction. He teaches her to trust and laugh again—she helps
him find the joy he’d lost. Faced with hard choices and
unspeakable loss, they draw strength from each other to
overcome the horrors of their pasts, and in the process find
redemption, forgiveness, and ultimately love.

Molly McFarlane is as desperate as a woman can get--even one
alone on the frontier. Forced to flee with her late sister's children,
she must provide for her wards while outrunning the relentless
tracker the children's vicious stepfather has set on their trail. Out
of money and with no other options, she marries a man badly
injured in a train derailment, assuming when he dies,
hisinsurance settlement will provide the money they need to
keep moving West. But there is one small problem. The man
doesn't die.
Hank Wilkins doesn't remember the accident he barely
survived--and he certainly doesn't remember marrying Molly.
Confused and hoping his memory will soon return, he takes her
home to his ranch, where Molly and the children are quickly
caught up in the boisterous Wilkins family. Molly might be a
gifted healer, but she knows little about caring for children, and
even less about caring for a healthy man--especially a silent,
brooding type like Hank. As Molly and Hank begin to discover
each other, the threat of the past seems distant and the idea of a
real marriage takes hold...until Hank's memory returns and he
realizes he's been betrayed by his own brother and the woman
he thought was his wife, and that fragile trust is shattered. Then
the tracker follows Molly to the ranch, and as Hank struggles to
open his wounded mind and battered heart to forgiveness, Molly
rides out into a blizzard to face down a killer in a frantic attempt to
protect the man and family she has grown to love.

Daisy Etheridge always dreamed of singing on a real stage,
rather than in a smoky San Francisco saloon. But along the
way she fell in love, had her heart broken, and bore a child to a
man who loved another. Now she has a second chance to
develop her singing talent. With no other way to get the money
she needs to support herself and her child during her training,
she and her daughter travel to New Mexico Territory to seek
help from the wealthy family of the man who abandoned her.
Jack Wilkins, a carefree adventurer, has always wanted to travel
the world, rather than stay home to work the family ranch with
his brothers. He thought he'd escaped three years ago when
he followed his childhood love to San Francisco, only to find that
his devotion wasn't enough to keep her. Now, he's back, trying
one last time to win her-when out of the blue a woman from his
past shows up with a baby who has eyes like his.
Caught between his feelings for his old flame, his attraction to
Daisy, and his new role as a father, Jack does the honorable
thing and offers marriage. But Daisy refuses. Although she
has never stopped loving Jack, she's unwilling to risk her
dream for a man who might still love another, or who would
rather chase the sun west than settle down with her.
But Jack won't give up. As spring drifts into summer, tensions
build, and the Wilkins family is strained to the breaking point
when old enemies and financial ruin threaten the ranch. Then
a violent storm brings everything to a head, forcing Daisy and
Jack to make hard choices about which dreams are worth
fighting for, and what they want out of their lives and each other.

Honest, hard-working widower, age thirty-
three, seeks sturdy English-speaking woman
to help with mountain ranch and four
children. Drinkers, whores, and gamblers

three, seeks sturdy English-speaking woman

children. Drinkers, whores, and gamblers

Not very romantic, but after one disastrous
marriage, widowed Edwina Ladoux isn’t
looking for romance. What she wants is
safety for herself and her half-sister, and a
way out of the war torn
South, even if she has to offer herself up as a mail order bride to
a stranger a thousand miles away in the Colorado Rockies. But
she hadn’t reckoned on Declan Brodie.
Declan’s first wife ran off with a gambler and was later killed by
Indians. He has no desire to saddle himself with another—and
her mulatto “traveling companion”. But his children need a
mother, and he needs help to keep his mountain ranch running,
and the proxy papers are already signed. But there’s something
odd about those two. A connection he doesn’t quite understand.
But at least the companion can cook.
What starts as a marriage of convenience between a southern
princess and an overworked rancher-sometimes-sheriff, soon
becomes a battle of wills, then a grudging respect, and finally a
side-by-side struggle to rebuild the ranch after a vicious Indian
attack. But just as things are starting to looking up again, and
Declan and Ed begin to explore their feelings for each other,
Declan’s first wife returns and an old enemy out for revenge
threatens to destroy the family. It all comes to a head high atop
an abandoned mine platform, where Edwina fights as she never
has before, and Declan faces his greatest fear in order to save
his daughter and the woman he has grown to love.
