Falling for someone who doesn't want to get married is soon to be the least of his concerns.

For even worse than his grumpiness were the few unguarded moments when he pulled at her heartstrings, and she has been long determined to never repeat her mother's mistakes. When alternate plans of finding her own independent life fall through, Molly volunteers to work for the Pinkertons and help investigate nearby ranch owner Oliver Hawkins. She signs on to be his housekeeper, hoping to find clues to prove his nefarious, and possibly murderous, past. Wyatt refuses to let her risk it alone and offers to act as Hawkins's new foreman. But when another Pinkerton agent gets shot, they realize Hawkins isn't the only danger. The Hunt brothers will have to band together to face all the troubles of life and love that suddenly surround them.

Idaho, 1888. Wade Dellums receives a cryptic letter from his childhood friend Ben Taylor asking for his help. Since Ben isn't the kind of fellow to ask for help unless there's big trouble afoot, Wade doesn't hesitate to put aside his job as a rancher, cowboy, and rifle salesman to ride to Idaho. When Wade arrives in White Willow, the town nearby Ben's home, he hears talk of a ruthless cattleman named Charlie Tate who wants Ben's ranch. The only problem is that Ben refuses to sell. Wade does a little more sniffing around town to try and gather as much information on Tate as he can-and what he hears isn't good. Tate has a reputation for stopping at nothing to get what he wants. Armed with his trusty Winchester, Wade heads out to Ben's ranch and discovers that Tate and his men are about to force Ben to sell, by bodily injury if necessary. With Ben's wife and son caught in the crossfire, Wade knows he has to make a move. Can he save Ben and his family without risking his own life? There's only one way to find out

The US Army's fighting experience from the Civil War's end in 1865 until the Western Frontier's end in 1890 has come to be known as the Indian Wars period. Previous conflicts had been limited to skirmishes with native tribes as their people were pushed westward into yet unwanted territory. Following the 1849 gold rush, travel routes and settlement pockets had increased across the trans-Mississippi regions as ever-greater numbers of Euro-Americans quested for land (and gold), enlarging the conflict between incompatible ways of life. As settlers and adventurers besieged tribesmen, some chose guerrilla warfare, characterized by skirmishes, raids, massacres, battles, and campaigns of varying intensities that ranged over plains, mountains, and deserts of the vast American West. Because the army's responsibilities involved great distances, limited resources, and extended operations (often impeded by governmental policies), its punitive actions suffered. From revolutionary times, the new United States held anti-standing-army sentiments believing that the "Indian problem" can be settled by nonmilitary means. Hence, the post-Civil War army dropped in half by the critical centennial year when the nation was shocked by the Little Big Horn catastrophe. In the previous ten years, a series of forts had been built and a command structure was organized for frontier defense around two western commands: the Division of the Missouri (containing Departments of Arkansas, Missouri, and the Platte) and the Division of the Pacific (containing Departments of California, Columbia, and the Gulf). Since the theater of war was largely uninhabited, its variations in climate and geographical features and its extreme distances were accentuated by army manpower limitations, logistical problems, and movement difficulties. In the postwar decades, few officers and soldiers had frontier and Indian-fighting experience against an unorthodox enemy. Those who had previous contacts approached their opponents with respect and were often helpful in promoting solutions to the Indian problem. Most memorable among the army's nineteenth century leaders are the names of Sherman, Sheridan, Miles, Howard, Gibbon, Sully, Cooke, Canby, and Crook. Given the central role their soldiers made in dealing with the Indians, the US Army and a few of its notable leaders made major contributions to the consolidation of the American continent.

After the tragic deaths of his father and uncle, Ned Fallow grows into a silent young man, shut off from emotional ties and struggling to earn a living on a wheat farm in Midland, Kansas. He becomes obsessed with growing the perfect crop in the fertile Kansas soil and pays little attention to the world around him; yet the beautiful, intelligent schoolteacher, Lily Thomason, and the untimely death of one of his workers finally force Ned out of his shell and make him rethink his perspective on the life he's always envisioned.

"Fallow's Field" is the portrait of a good man, hurt so badly that he has turned away from those intimate connections that add true meaning to one's life. As Ned struggles against the forces of nature, human and otherwise, he is faced with one last chance at happiness-and the leap of faith he must take to find his ultimate redemption.

It is 1888, and for Jesse Riddle, time has already brought too much change. Caught between the excitement of life on Harrison Avenue in Leadville, Colorado, and his commitment to the Lord, he must now make some big decisions.

Work in the mines has exposed him to a new world of hard living and reckless self-indulgence, and Jesse knows that the direction his life is taking is hurting his preacher father. The church has always been the center of the young man's life, but now more worldly temptations are pulling him away. He tries to resist the lure of the saloons, with mixed success. His reputation as a man to be feared troubles him. But despite it all-the temptations, the accolades, the power-he could not ignore the commitment he had made to the Lord.

Jesse needs to get away for a while. The mountains have always been his place of sanctuary, and it is to their high reaches that he runs in times of doubt. He could not have imagined what God had in store for him-a mystery beyond his ability to understand. Strange new people and machines have slipped through time, but for what purpose? The choices he must make now will determine the course of the rest of his life. The stakes are high, and the time to decide is short.

The year is 1880 and Jackson Junction is about as wild as any town on the western frontier. A national depression in 1873 has forced many men out of their jobs. One sheriff depends upon volunteers for his posses to keep the peace. It's in this social climate that Toby, a 15-year-old, arrives on an orphan train from New York City to be adopted by the Oliver family and to be put to work as a cub reporter for Mister Dunn, editor and publisher of the Junction Citizen Press. Mister Dunn is tired of printing only planting schedules for farmers and cooking recipes for the town's wives. He wants exciting stories in his newspaper, and gives that assignment to Toby. Of course, with 67 saloons on Main Street and a news tipster by the name of Captain Pig Reardon of the Michigan Central Railroad Police, Toby has no trouble finding excitement to write about for Mister Dunn. "Train Town," as Toby likes to call Jackson Junction, because of the numerous trains, and their whistles, provides plenty of exciting stories for Toby to write. There are bank robberies by an elusive gang, a terrible collision of two passenger trains near the depot, a coal mine explosion, a cyclone, a wild cattle drive through town that has a fatal ending, a wild west show that almost gets Toby killed and a pair of court cases which involve the Michigan Central Railroad just to mention a few of Toby's big stories. And, there's Bethany Wiggins, who, at 15, has her eye on Toby as her future husband ... and, not too far in the future as far as she's concerned. There's never a dull moment with Captain Pig Reardon around to bend Toby's ear with "scoops" for him to write about for the Junction Citizen Press. However, Pig always has anulterior motive, hoping to lure Toby into one of his quick-money-making schemes to help Pig finance his way east, so he can perform on the New York stage. "Train Town" will take the reader back into a time of oil lamps, dirt streets and the smell of horse manure, wooden sidewalks, bare-knuckle prize fights, twenty-five cent meals at restaurants and boarding houses for a good many of the town's families. And, of course, the railroads. They never stop building new lines into Jackson Junction. They come from the east, the west, the south and the north. There'll be three different passenger depots in town, plus freight yards, roundhouses and miles and miles of track. "Train Town" has it all, and Toby Oliver, cub reporter, is ready to tell you every exciting minute of it in the action-packed pages of this novel.
