Lonesome Rider by Heather Graham Prozzessere

In “Lonesome Rider”, born to a Sioux mother and a white father, Blade McKenna grew up between two opposing worlds, never wholly belonging to either. The Civil War brought him yet more sorrow and loss. Now Blade is a man who lives only for revenge. This violent, merciless wilderness is no place for beautiful Easterner Jessica Dylan, who is on her own mission to clear her late husband’s name. Rescuing the elegant, emerald-eyed beauty from marauding Apaches exacts a higher price than Blade is willing to pay. Unless the promise of love can ease a bitter Loner’s heart. Against the Wind by Patricia Potter A touching tale of a young Northern woman and an ex-rebel Southern doctor travelling west for a new life. Both learn to measure each other not by the colour of a uniform, but by the depth of their love. One Simple Wish by Joan Johnston Everyone in Fredericksburg, Texas believes their newest resident, Alyssa Moreland, is a “true lady”. So they don’t understand why she’s willing to be courted by the local blacksmith, Karl Eberhardt. Surely, Karl isn’t good enough for her. But if folks knew about her, Alyssa is pretty sure they wouldn’t think she was good enough for him! Karl isn’t troubled by Alyssa’s secrets, since lots of folks come West to escape from shadowed lives. He refuses to listen when she tries to tell him who she really is. After all, she’s such a wonderful person, how bad can her past really be? Alyssa wrestles with her shame and guilt all the way to the altar, where the truth - told by a stranger - tests the depth Karl’s love.
