"The Blacksmith and the Belle" follows Belle, a pioneering woman seeking to open her heart, as she becomes entangled with a man who ultimately abandons her at the altar, leaving her to contemplate the tragedy that has shaped her life. "The Stranger's Secret" depicts a romance between a man named Mike and a woman named Holly that is complicated by Mike's refusal to share his troubles, leading Holly to believe he does not truly love her.

Girl of the Purple Sage!
11 pp · Romance, Western-Frontier

A rugged homesteader rescues a mysterious golden-haired girl fleeing through the desert sagebrush, half-starved and terrified, with no memory to speak of—but her arrival sets off a dangerous chain of events when violent outlaws come looking for the doctor in town. As Brett grows determined to protect his vulnerable guest, he finds himself drawn into a collision with ruthless men whose past may be darkly connected to the girl's own mysterious history.

The Stranger's Secret

Holly Butler returns to her inherited ranch eager to reclaim her beloved western home, only to find it plagued by a mountain lion that takes refuge on the neighboring property of Mike Ransom, a bitter, solitary man who guards his mountain domain fiercely. Drawn to the mysterious stranger despite his cold warnings, Holly finds herself caught between her duty to protect the ranch and a growing fascination with the grim, lonely figure who seems to be watching her just as intently. As danger and desire intertwine on Fire Mountain, Holly must uncover what secret keeps Mike Ransom isolated—and whether he's truly the obstacle standing between them.

The Blacksmith and the Belle
8 pp · Romance, Western-Frontier

In the lawless frontier town of Kehoe, blacksmith Russ Maynard finds himself caught between his betrothed Kitty Barlow and his bitter rivalry with the tyrannical gunman Derek Lawson—until a brave young newspaper publisher named Amy Fairworth arrives and challenges everything Russ thought he wanted. When Lawson's men trash Amy's print shop, Russ discovers a kindred spirit fighting for justice in a town ruled by fear, and the course of his heart begins to shift. As tensions mount between the blacksmith and the gunslinger, Russ must choose between the comfort of his engagement and the call to stand beside someone who truly shares his values.
