1879 – Nebraska

For him, playing the role of rescuer was his duty.
For her, she would just as soon see him run.

Cowboy Matt Keath enjoys the perfect life. He has freedom, few responsibilities, and a dream job that lies just within his grasp. But when a letter arrives informing him of his brother’s death, he can’t escape the truth that family takes care of family. He saddles up and heads to his brother’s farm outside of Osceola, ready to rescue his sister-in-law from her troubles and then escape back west as quickly as possible.

Emily Keath can’t believe that her late husband’s farm-hating, kid-wary brother would have the audacity to consider himself her rescuer. He’s not equipped to take care of her farm, let alone her and her children. Perhaps if she can help him see his inadequacies, he’ll realize that she’s better off without him.

Between family arguments and barnyard trouble, the summer threatens to become one of sheer survival. Matt and Emily will need a stronger bond than necessity if they wish to work alongside one another–but anything stronger feels a little too permanent for either of their comfort.

1878 – Nebraska

They had been thrust into a bargain beyond their control—
How can they endure two full weeks in one another’s presence?

Jeanne McAllister always seems to be causing accidents, and she’s never been more aware of it than when a mishap in the Columbus Hotel lands her in the courtroom. And worst of all, the lawman she’s offended doesn’t seem too eager to extend forgiveness.

His trip to Columbus was supposed to be uneventful, but instead, Sheriff Ethan Becker finds himself confronted with all manner of inconvenience, the biggest of which is the pretty little brunette who has thrown his life into chaos. He can’t deny the troubled feelings that linger from his wife’s death—but honestly. That gave the judge no right to rearrange his life for him.

Duty had driven Ethan and Jeanne to commit to Judge Pratt’s bargain, but prejudice is blinding, hindering them from seeing one another’s value. As the countdown nears its end, escape from the bargain they’ve made could be what they need—or is it?

1881 – Wyoming

The Haines children have been separated from each other since their parents’ deaths five years ago, but now an unexpected opportunity appears for Brittany to join her brother in Wyoming Territory. In accepting the offer, Brittany makes two things clear. One, she will be returning east in one year since she doesn’t believe the west is a good place for her two younger siblings to grow up, and two, she will not marry a westerner. But when things go wrong the minute she steps off the stage, Brittany begins to question her decision to travel west. And when the same westerner keeps coming to her aid, Brittany is forced to admit that maybe not all westerners are bad.

Nathan Lindale came to Wyoming territory in hopes of forgetting his past, but finds that to be impossible, especially when his long time enemy Rueben Pierce appears. As tension mounts, he’s faced with the question of whether he will continue to cling to the pain the past holds or release it for something better. Will they open their eyes to the unexpected, or in clinging to their own ideas, will they let present opportunities slip past them?
