Return to Cowboy Creek

Unexpected Father The pretty redhead Seth Halloway pulls from a derailed train has surprising news for him. The children she's accompanied to Cowboy Creek aren't hers-they're his, thanks to the last wishes of a late friend. Busy rancher Seth must suddenly cope with three rambunctious boys...and try to ignore his growing feelings for independent Marigold Brewster. Marigold hopes to start over as the town's new schoolteacher. She'll choose her own path, and stay aloof from the adorable Radner boys-and their guardian. But the man who rescued her from a wrecked railcar might just be the one to save her from loneliness...if she dares to let him in.

Stand-In Wife Russ Halloway's mail-order bride never boarded the bride train! In her place is recently widowed Anna Darby Linford, sister of the last woman to jilt Russ. He's surprised to see Anna again-and stunned when he discovers she's pregnant. Marrying Anna seems the right thing to do...especially since love continues to evade him. Anna hopes Russ will help her find employment-becoming a wife again never even crossed her mind. Yet as she struggles to start over in the small town, Anna forges a genuine connection with Russ. When secrets from her past threaten Russ's future in politics, can they protect their family in the making?

Undercover Pinkerton agent Adam Halloway is hunting for his family's greatest enemy. The pretty baker at the boardinghouse is certainly hiding something-but is she an accomplice to a criminal? As evidence against Deborah piles up, can Adam trust his heart and make Deborah a bride at last?
