Widow's Fire
In Prohibition-era Van Leer, Kentucky, young war widow Cora struggles to survive after her husband, Cliff, dies in the Great War. Forced to leave the company house and defy mourning customs, she moves to a disreputable room, despite her father's disapproval. Cora's life changes when Sloan Ryker and his brother Silas arrive. Sloan, bold and intriguing, draws her into a forbidden relationship that defies societal norms—even as rumors suggest the Rykers are involved in more than mining. Their suspicions are confirmed when Sloan and Silas start a moonshine operation, and Cora finds herself torn between loyalty and the risks of their illegal activities. As authorities close in, community scrutiny intensifies and tensions mount when a raid leads to Silas's arrest and Sloan narrowly escapes. Amid the chaos, Cora reveals she is pregnant, forcing them to reconsider their future in the midst of escalating danger. With Silas jailed and law enforcement tightening the noose, Sloan opts to stand his ground rather than flee. Cora, showing surprising resilience, supports him as they devise a plan to challenge the oppressive forces and secure Silas's release. In a climactic showdown, Cora's bravery is pivotal in orchestrating their escape from imminent capture. Facing scandal and danger, the couple cements their bond by choosing love and family over convention. Remaining in Van Leer, they build a life together that defies expectations and challenges societal norms, embracing both the risks and rewards of their audacious love.

A gun-toting widow is more than a match for a mere cowboy in this unforgettable Western romance from the bestselling author of Virgin Fire. His mind preoccupied with the threat of cattle theft, Justin Harte was in no position to fall in love. But when his eye caught sight of the beautiful, forceful, and unbelievably skilled Anne McAuliffe, who could shoot a gun better than many men he knows, his heart began to beat so loudly that his mind could not talk any sense into him. Going beyond playing hard-to-get, Anne made it clear that she was not interested in the strapping and debonair Justin. But could Anne control her heart as easily as she thought or would she drop her gun and be swept into Justin's waiting arms?
The Widow's Tale
A newly-widowed woman has done a runner. She just jumped in her car, abandoned her (very nice) house in north London and kept on driving until she reached the Norfolk coast. Now she's rented a tiny cottage and holed herself away there, if only to escape the ceaseless sympathy and insincere concern. She's not quite sure, but thinks she may be having a bit of a breakdown. Or perhaps this sense of dislocation is perfectly normal in the circumstances. All she knows is that she can't sleep and may be drinking a little more than she ought to. But as her story unfolds we discover that her marriage was far from perfect. That it was, in fact, full of frustration and disappointment, as well as one or two significant secrets, and that by running away to this particular village she might actually be making her own personal pilgrimage. By turns elegiac and highly comical, The Widow's Tale conjures up this most defiantly unapologetic of narrators as she begins to pick over the wreckage of her life and decide what has real value and what she should leave behind.
