Call of the Rockies

The last epic journey before her life changes forever. Susanna Wilkins will do anything to make her father's final dream come true, including trek along the path Lewis and Clark explored into the untamed wilds of the Rocky Mountains. Every mile is more crucial now that lung cancer is stealing Pa's last days faster than she can come to terms with losing him. The journey becomes harder than she ever expected, but paddling upriver through fierce rapids and fighting hungry grizzlies isn't what terrifies her the most. Beaver Tail endured more than he can stand from the women in his Blackfoot camp, but the last disaster gave him the final shove he needed to join this band of brothers searching for one of their group who's gone missing. The last thing he expected was to find a white woman and her sick father stranded at the base of a massive waterfall. His plan is to help them carry their oversize canoe and supplies, then leave them to their strange mission. Yet, the more he learns about the pair, the more he realizes his life is about to be derailed-again. From a USA Today bestselling author comes another epic journey through breathless landscapes and adventure so intense, lives will never be the same.

This epic journey is not at all what she expected.

And he can't shake the feeling that Adam-his only living relative-is in dire trouble. No matter what the cost, he and his band of friends won't stop until Adam is found. He's not sure if two Indian women they meet on the way will be a help or hindrance. After the devastating loss of her daughter and husband to a grizzly attack, Elan is desperate to find an escape from her grief. As she and her friend journey from their Nez Perce camp, through the mountains and toward the great river, a band of white men is the last thing she expects to find, especially as winter blows in full force. When the dangers increase, accomplishing Joel's mission becomes the only hope for all their survival. If the elements don't consume them, Elan has a feeling life will never be the same for any of them.

This epic journey may seal her fate forever. Determined to prove her worth, Meksem fiercely fought to earn her place among the warriors in her Nez Perce camp. When her half-sister is captured by an enemy tribe, she refuses to trust the rescue to anyone else. But her new friends insist on joining her mission, and she battles between relief and frustration at their presence. Especially the white man who peers at her as if he can see through the face of the warrior she struggles so hard to maintain. Spaniard Adam Vargas thrives on adventure wherever his travels take him. He's fallen in love with this Rocky Mountain wilderness, as well as the spotted horses the Nez Perce tribe raise. His fascination with this Indian maiden-turned-warrior catches him off guard though, including the way she seems to be fighting for more than her sister's safe return. The journey proves more perilous than any of the group expects, and the secret Meksem hides becomes impossible to conceal. If they live through this mission, the life they knew will never be the same again. From a bestselling author comes another epic journey through breathless landscapes and intense adventure.

Keeping her son safe on this epic journey may be harder than she imagined. Caleb Jackson is on a journey. And not just the mission he and his friends have embarked on to fetch the Nez Perce chief's runaway daughter. Maybe someday, he could also find God's plan for his life. He'd once thought being a small town minister was the Lord's will for him, but he'd proved a failure at living under the scrutiny of his congregation. Yet the chief's niece and her feisty toddler accompanying them on this expedition make him feel like he might be able to make a difference yet. Otskai is eager to take on a challenge. She's lived under the shelter of other's choices her entire life, especially when she was betrothed to one of the village braves at the tender age of eight. Now with her husband's death, she's finally found the freedom she always craved-even with a two-year-old to raise. She's built her camas root harvest into a thriving trade to provide all she and her son need and more, yet she can't seem to keep her active child safe. When she agrees to accompany her new friends on a trip to bring back her wayward cousin, she knows she'll have her hands full managing her boy. The journey turns out nothing like Otskai expects, and for the first time in her life, she's thankful to have others around to help. Especially Caleb, whose gentle attentions captivate her son and occupy him for hours at a time. But as the danger escalates and her worst fears come to light, she must find the courage to choose between freedom and a love more liberating than she imagined possible.

New title and cover, same great story! (Formerly titled Faith in the Mountain Valley) This epic journey is the only way to leave her secrets behind. After eleven years spent looking for the girl who stole his heart, Jean-Jacques Baptiste-better known as French to his friends-is tempted to give up. Until the day he spotted the flaxen-haired stranger traveling the wooded path with Blackfoot Indians. He never imagined he'd find his childhood friend masquerading as a man in this Rocky Mountain wilderness, hundreds of miles from the Canadian town where he last saw her. No matter her reasons, he can't let her go this time. Colette Mignon's life has become a cacophony of lies, including the fact that her Blackfoot Indian companions believe she's a man. She's willing to live the taxing life of a trapper in these desolate mountains as long as it keeps her secrets hidden. When her childhood friend and first love discovers her, his determination to help might put everything at risk. As the worst of her past threatens to catch up with her, the hope for Colette's new life shatters. But no matter what, she must protect the one good thing that came from all her mistakes. Though French is determined to stay at her side, she can't let him become entangled in the perilous consequences of her actions. If only it wasn't so painful to push him away. The danger pressing in may leave her only one choice-leave everything behind…again.

This epic journey is his last chance to start a new life. After being cast out of his Blackfoot village for his kindness to the Nez Perce captives, Chogan travels west in search of meaning for his life. Meaning that doesn't require killing or torturing innocent people. Though the lovely face of Telípe, a Nez Perce woman, is imprinted on his heart, he avoids her village. She deserves a happy life with her husband and coming child. With her husband dead and the birth of her babe imminent, Telípe's reality looks nothing like she planned. She's been forced to return to the village where she grew up and the chaos of her family's lodge - with all her boisterous younger brothers. She desperately desires to start a new life for herself and the babe growing within her, but she can't seem to climb above the mire of her past. When she stumbles into the brave who'd shown her kindness during her captivity, something ignites within her - a new hope. Chogan's determination to stay and help Telípe is thwarted by her people's fear and hatred for his tribe - especially since he was among last winter's kidnappers. It doesn't matter that he did everything he could to keep her and her unborn child safe and comfortable during that awful event. But as a new predator threatens the safety of the village, Chogan determines to take down the massive wildcat that's already injured several children - including one of Telípe's younger brothers. When the danger escalates, Chogan is faced with an impossible choice. No matter which option he chooses, his life will never be the same - nor that of the woman he's come to love.

New title and cover, same great story! (Formerly titled Honor in the Mountain Refuge) This epic journey is his only chance to redeem his mistakes. Chogan should've seen it coming when his tribe cast him out. He may look like a Blackfoot brave, but he refuses to act like one ever again-especially when it means kidnapping or killing innocent people. His protective actions toward Nez Perce captives proved that. Yet the pain of having nowhere to belong strikes deeper than he imagined. Worse, there's one particular Nez Perce woman's face he can't get out of his mind…or heart. How can he make amends for the sins of his past? If Telípe thought all would be well after her rescue from kidnappers, she couldn't have been more wrong. With her husband now dead and the birth of their first baby imminent, she's forced to seek shelter in the chaotic, overcrowded lodge of her youth. The solitude she finds only in the wilderness outside the village becomes a haven…until she comes face to face with the Blackfoot brave who once helped kidnap her. Yet even in her terror, she senses a spark of something unexpected-hope. But Chogan isn't the only threat to her village. With a massive wildcat stalking her people, Telipe must decide whether to trust Chogan's help. He proved his compassion and bravery when he'd kept her safe during her kidnapping, and her regard grows as she sees his determination to help her tribe-the very people who want him dead. As the wildcat closes in, one thing is clear: someone is going to be hurt-or killed-and it may cost Telipe and Chogan everything.

Otskai never wished her husband dead, but her new-found freedom-something she's never been allowed-brings a relief she willingly embraces.
