Jarrett Family Sagas

Ellie Langstrom has built a quiet, simple life on a ranch in Summer Valley, married to the love of her life: gentle, older Benjamin Jarrett. But that life is shattered when her barn burn to the ground and she finds Benjamin's bullet–riddled body on the back doorstep. Reeling from shock and grief, Ellie has no idea who would want to hurt him or why. So she telegraphs Benjamin's brother Carson, a Texas Ranger, for help. Two months later, a Jarrett brother finally arrives-only it's not Carson, but the blue-eyed gunfighter, Kale Jarrett. Ellie is terrified of guns and of the handsome gunslinger now living in her house. But she needs him . . . maybe in ways she doesn't want to admit.

A silver mining heiress and a Texas Ranger find love on the run in this epic tale of romance and high adventure "bursting with the flavor of Mexico" (RT Book Reviews). Aurelia Mazón is determined to escape her high–mountain town and head for the big city-even though her father owns the town silver mine. When he vows to send Aurelia and her mother to Guanajuato if the silver thefts continue, Aurelia sets a plan in motion to make her dreams come true. But just when her plan begins to work, the unthinkable happens: a handsome Texas lawman is arrested for the thefts. Desperate to keep her big city dreams alive, Aurelia has no choice but to break the gringo out and escape with him into the Sierra Madres, where sparks fly between the two strong–willed strangers. Chased through the Sierras by the Federales, Carson Jarrett realizes that his budding, passionate romance with Aurelia cannot come to pass: the Mazón family will never allow her to marry a gringo. But Aurelia's indomitable spirit say otherwise-and Carson has never met a woman he believes in more.

Mississippi River, 1879. Delta Jarrett is desperate to end the recurring dreams that haunt her: disturbing, passionate dreams about her ancestor, pirate Anne Bonny, and Anne's lover, Calico Jack. In need of distraction, Delta agrees to serve as a reporter for her brother-in-law Hollis's newspaper, the St. Louis Sun. She'll cover stories onboard a Louisiana showboat, the Mississippi Princess, at each port of call as it makes its way to New Orleans. Brett Reall, on the run from a murder he did not commit, is back in the bayous of Louisiana after a decade, disguised and on the lookout for bounty hunters and the law. His enemies could be anywhere, but after boarding the Mississippi Princess, he has a new fear: that his unquenchable desire for Delta will put her in harm's way. Delta can sense the danger that surrounds Brett, but her vivid dreams and growing love for this real-life pirate only draw her closer to him-and to disaster.
