From her ranch home in Montana in the 1920s, Nettie Brady dreamed
of joining the rodeo circuit and becoming a star. Defying her
mother's wishes and trading her skirts for trousers--and riding the
range with her brothers and taking on the occasional half-ton steer
in local rodeos--Nettie bucked convention to compete with men in
the arena. When family hardship and tragedy threaten her plans, she
turns back toward a more traditional life as a ranch woman, but
chafes against its restrictions. Then she meets and falls in love
with a young neighbor who rides broncs and raises rodeo stock. Can
Nettie's rodeo dreams come true if she's also a wife and mother?
Based on the life of the author's grandmother, a real Montana
cowgirl, this novel takes on the big issues of a woman's place in
the west, the crushing difficulties of surviving on a homestead,
and the excitement and romance of a young girl aching to follow her
dream.
A case gone wrong sends Devon on a drunken ride to Nitika's side.
Unwilling to accept the possible death of his partner, Devon spends
his time at the ranch remembering the cases the he, Raven, and
Nitika were involved in. Hunter didn't know about Nitika's life as
a detective and was very interested in the stories. From her hiring
by Allan Pinkerton himself to her own kidnapping, Nitika Brodie
proved she could handle herself in any situation. Not only did she
gain the respect of her fellow detectives, she proved a woman could
do the job just as good as a man. If not better.

This novel plunges the reader into the last agonizing years of the
Civil War. Cattle from the Florida plains are needed to save a
desperate South from starvation. But quicksand and snake-filled
swamps, Yankee raiders, and vicious outlaws block the trails
between Florida and the rest of the Confederacy. Men like Tree
Hooker, tough as alligator hide and quick with gun, knife, or whip,
reckon with Union forces and renegades when they take on the job of
driving the herds.

and so much more. My books will always have the same peple,
setting, and all. The whole town knows secrets about Leah and her
devoted mountain man that you could never imagine. Even their own

an issue from the shy school teacher to the owner of the saloon.
Durango, Colorado, and Farmington, New Mexico square off against
each other in a fight to control the general area in this tale,
based upon actual facts. Each side is busy rustling cows and horses
from each other's herds and blaming the other. But, Ike and Port
Stockton of the Colorado faction are a little more liberal and
sometimes grab available Colorado ranchers' stock for the butcher
shop.
Ike is a good PR man and influences several Colorado newspapers
to root for them, and for a time Ike is unbelievably described as a
defender of justice against the New Mexico bad guys. But soon the
axe falls; everybody gets their comeuppance. George Woods of the
Colorado group and his story is played out against the backdrop of
the frontier west, and his confused heart gets him into darker
trouble than he can ever imagine.

change. When these two forces meet, sparks fly and an electrifying
bond is born. Throughout their obstacles, and meeting Billy the Kid
