    About this series

    When Becca’s husband dies in the freak blizzard that September, she brings her remaining livestock and two girls to town to live. Her hand is forced by Pastor Collins to reply to a potential intended, Haden Jarrod, but before he arrives, she falls for her sister’s intended, Charlie T. Cairn.

    Charlie arrives in Last Chance, Nebraska, prepared to marry Linda Applebee, but finds her sister, Becca Collingsworth, much more enjoyable to be around. When the woman who left him at an altar in Pennsylvania shows up begging for him to reconsider, things get really complicated.

    Can these two work things out? Will Becca trust Charlie even though his previous fiancée is in town? How can Charlie convince her that she is truly his destiny when it looks like she’s his third choice? Will Pastor Collins send Becca back to Wisconsin? Or will Becca give everything up and marry her friend, the livery owner?

      Nineteen-year-old Rachel Kayden’s worst nightmares never included being widowed a month after she married John. She decides her marriage vows also meant caring for their horse ranch regardless of the hardships. Rachel’s mother never wanted her to marry and leave home. John’s death gives her the perfect reason to try and force Rachel to return home. Samuel Ashworthy, the son of a prominent Philadelphia furniture manufacturer, refuses to marry any of the women his father chooses. He seeks adventure, and the West appeals to him, but his father has threatened to disown him if he leaves. When he inherits his grandfather’s racehorse estate, Samuel no longer needs to remain in Philadelphia. A newspaper advertisement seeking a husband might be the answer, but Rachel’s mother has other ideas. Will a young couple brought together by unthinkable circumstances find love or live a life of convenience forced on them? This is a sweet romance.

And while he doesn't "need" a wife, his son needs a mother.

When she agrees to put on a theatrical presentation for Last Chance, she gets a glimpse at a new kind of life. She makes friends, guides a son, and chases a dream—why, she might even be falling in love. It’s all going along so well…until Gracie’s past catches up with her.

      When the freak blizzard of 1878 kills most of the men in a small Nebraska town, what does it mean for the surviving women and children? When Heather Barnes loses her beloved husband to the terrible blizzard that claimed so many lives, she must decide where her future lies. It was her husband who led all the men to their fate, and now she feels responsible that the women must remarry so quickly. The last thing she wants is another husband, but taking care of the farm, hunting, the butcher shop, and being a mother to two orphan children, is too much for the woman that is also the town's midwife. What she doesn't count on is a traveling gunslinger making her question her choice to love again. Dalton James left everything behind to chase after his brother’s killer. Five years on the frontier have roughened him into a man that legends are made from. Now, instead of chasing outlaws, he envisions a life where revenge and traveling are no longer necessary. He didn’t count on finding his future so quickly in the form of a blue-eyed lady doctor. When the object of his affection has decided she isn’t going to marry any man, can Dalton convince her to stay and take a chance on a new future with him? What happens when a secret Dalton has been hiding comes to light, putting his love and the women of Last Chance in danger? Will Last Chance become a second chance at love for Dalton and Heather?
