The Last Cowboy
As the romanticized period of the American “wild” West wound down, most cowboys rode off into the sunset. Hank Miller must follow a different path. In The Last Cowboy, he survives the Civil War, Texas sized desperados, and the great San Francisco earthquake. With a debt to pay, Hank will place himself and his twin sons in great danger in a new, wild and untamed frontier—Morocco! This is a sweeping tale of a reluctant hero of the West. It is also a story of romance and international adventure, stretching from west Texas to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, London, Tangier and the Moroccan Rif. The novel spans an equally expansive time frame: 1860 to 1912. The backdrop is the American frontier with all its enduring myths and troubling realities. Ultimately, his heroism earns Hank unexpected wealth, friends on three continents, and the love of an extraordinary woman. Now ensconced in a mansion in the most exclusive neighborhood of San Francisco, Hank has a beautiful wife and three remarkable children. He wants nothing more than to enjoy them all and the highly successful international tour business he and Beth now operate. But a last, perilous mission awaits. Hank has a debt to pay and a friend to rescue in a far off land.
The Outlaw Bride
WHAT WOULD YOU RISK TO KEEP A PROMISE? Katherine Slade’s wants are simple: to keep her promise to the man who saved her life, escape her lawless husband, and leave her past behind. But pretending to be a mail order bride was never part of her plan! Especially when that plan forces her to become Sheriff Connor Langston’s housekeeper to stay out of jail. Keeping up the deception is difficult, but even more challenging is battling her growing feelings toward the handsome lawman. A wife is the last thing Connor needs, even if the rest of Fatal Bluff is far too eager to see him married off. With a band of outlaws threatening the safety of Fatal Bluff, and a child to care for, he has enough on his plate. But as he watches little Jenny respond to Kate, he can’t deny she has worked her way into his own heart. If only he could shake the growing sense that his new housekeeper is not who she claims to be. When Connor discovers the truth about Kate, will this outlaw bride stand a chance at becoming the sheriff’s wife?
