RAZED FROM CHILDHOOD
No child should have to witness what twelve year old Cord Malone
saw the day his parents were murdered and his home burned to the
ground. Rescued from the blaze by his Uncle Jesse, the terrible
image still haunts him, as does the name of the man
responsible..."Eli Creed."
Jesse had tried to track the man down, only to lose Creed's trail.
But Cord never gave up. He just waited out his young years before
setting out on a trail long gone cold to satisfy the need for
revenge that still burns inside him.
The spirit of Christmas is contagious and overwhelming in this
charming and unpredictable holiday tale. Orphaned at thirteen, the
poorly paid, patched-clothed cowhand Stubby Pringle is now nearing
twenty as he looks forward to whooping it up at the schoolhouse in
the valley for the Christmas dance. His box of chocolates is tucked
into his saddlebag for the gal who "appeals to him most and seems
most susceptible." But this Christmas Eve Stubby finds that the
magic of the season may have something different in store for him.
In true Schaefer fashion, Stubby Pringle delights readers and fills
our hearts with the magic and spirit of Christmas.
He came out of Malpais, the terrible volcanic badlands where nothing can live, riding a giant red stallion no other man could put a hand to. His boots were polished, his speech was gentle, but his guns were quick and smooth as silk. He shot first and talked later.
One of the great sagas of our time, the chronicle of the Sackett family is perhaps the crowning achievement of one of our greatest storytellers. In Lando, Louis L'Amour has created an unforgettable portrait of a unique hero.
A man never to count out....
For six long years Orlando Sackett survived the horrors of a brutal Mexican prison. He survived by using his skills as a boxer and by making three vows.
The first was to exact revenge on the hired killers who framed him. The second was to return to his father. And the third was to find Gin Locklear.
But the world has changed a lot since Lando left it. His father is missing. The woman he loves is married. And the killers want him dead. Hardened physically and emotionally, Lando must begin an epic journey to resolve his past, even if it costs him his life.
With her sassy humor and sexy cowboys, USA Today bestseller Carolyn
Brown launches her new Longhorn Canyon series. Every summer Cade
Maguire looks forward to opening his Longhorn Canyon Ranch to

opening for a counselor position. She's not as thrilled about the
ranching part, or the sexy cowboy with beautiful blue eyes who's
her new boss. After being left at the altar two years before by his
fiancee, Cade isn't sure he can take another heartbreak. And Retta
isn't even sure she wants to stay. But the sparks between them are
absolutely undeniable. And with a couple of lovable kids and two
elderly folks playing matchmaker, Cade and Retta may find that the
best way to heal is with each other.

'An exciting, vividly-imagined reconstruction of an extraordinary
moment in the history of the American West' Ian McGuire,
bestselling author of THE NORTH WATER and INCREDIBLE BODIES 'A
highly compelling page turner; you won't be able to put it down'
Philipp Meyer, author of THE SON and AMERICAN RUST The thrilling,
long-awaited return of the #1 New York Times bestselling author of
The Revenant In 1866, with the country barely recovered from the
Civil War, new war breaks out on the western frontier - a clash of
cultures between a young, ambitious nation and the Native tribes
who have lived on the land for centuries. Colonel Henry Carrington
arrives in Wyoming's Powder River Valley to lead the US Army in
defending the opening of a new road for gold miners and settlers.
Carrington intends to build a fort in the middle of critical
hunting grounds, the home of the Lakota. Red Cloud, one of the
Lakota's most respected chiefs, and Crazy Horse, a young but
visionary warrior, understand full well the implications of this
invasion. For the Lakota, the stakes are their home, their culture,
their lives. Throughout this taut saga - based on real people and
events - Michael Punke brings the same immersive, vivid
storytelling and historical insight that made his breakthrough
debut so memorable. As Ridgeline builds to its epic conclusion, it
grapples with essential questions of conquest and justice that
still echo today.
The Sackett Brothers didn't know what brand of trouble had Cousin Logan stirred up, but he needed beef cattle badly. So with Tell Sackett ramrodding, Tyrel, Orrin, and Cap Rountree ride north to the wild country--pushing 1100 head of fat steers across the wide Dakota plains toward the mountains of far western Canada. Past Sioux, past Logan's treacherous enemies, through trails no cattle had ever crossed, the Sacketts drive on. Because when you step on the toes of one Sackett they all come running.
One of the outstanding narratives of our time, the chronicle of the Sackett family is one of the great achievements of one of our finest storytellers. In Lonely on the Mountain, the solitary, wandering Sackett brothers make a stand together...to save one of their own.
A Sackett's Word. The rare letters Tell Sackett received always had trouble inside. And the terse note from his cousin Logan was no exception. Logan faced starvation or a hanging if Tell couldn't drive a herd of cattle from Kansas to British Columbia before winter. To get to Logan, he must brave prairie fires, buffalo stampedes, and Sioux war parties. But worse trouble waits, for a mysterious enemy shadows Sackett's every move across the Dakotas and the Canadian Rockies. Tell Sackett has never abandoned another Sackett in need. He will bring aid to Logan--or die trying.
