Book Description
Who's faster than a speeding joke; more powerful than a loco weed; able to leap tall tales at a single bound; & who disguised as a mild-mannered comedian, fights for truth, justice & the new enterprise system. "Superspeaker" James "Doc" Blakely. Often quoted by Paul Harvey in his nationally broadcast radio program, Blakely has written an insightful book, cleverly illustrated, that successfully takes aim at 12 facets of American Life. From Big Shots (Famous People) to Long Shots (Politicians) - his "The Last Psalm" which begins "The Government is my Shepherd I Shall not Want" is a gem -- through to Lucky Shots (Philosophers), his short stories, anecdotes, & one-liners are right on target. Although not indexed, the book's structure is such that it can be used by speech writers & emcees. "It is must reading for those down in the dumps, down on their luck, or just plain down. It inspires, it cheers, it enlightens & entertains. If you couldn't tell, I liked it. Highly recommended for all types of libraries."--Jeffrey W. Imparato, Business Reference Librarian, Topeka Public Library, Topeka, Kansas.

Book Description
He’s the last bachelor standing among the men of Hell’s Eight, and he’ll settle for nothing less than passion… Unencumbered by wife or family, Luke Bellen is the obvious member of Hell’s Eight to lead a treacherous trek across Comanche territory. But Luke suspects he will never know another minute’s peace when photographer Josie Kinder joins the wagon train. Whip-smart Josie has a voluptuous figure, a sunny disposition and a knack for getting into dangerous scrapes in pursuit of the perfect shot. Luke thinks Josie’s too young, too sweet to be despoiled by the rough life and hard-bitten land he loves. But independent Josie won’t let any man—however commanding—decide what’s best for her. Beneath their playful banter is a powerful current of lust—pure, but not so simple. If only Luke weren’t so damned proper, he’d see that the years between them don’t matter a whit, not when a single touch can set them both ablaze. Josie’s hell-bent on having it all, and that includes keeping Luke in the picture…unless the vengeful bandits on their trail find them first.

Book Description
"A sweeping saga of passion, excitement, and danger...as a beautiful young woman and a rugged ex-soldier struggle against all odds to carve out an empire—and to forge a magnificent love." Lettie McBride knows that joining a wagon train heading West is her chance to begin anew, far from the devastating memories of the night that changed her forever. She doesn't believe she can escape the pain of innocence lost, or feel desire for any man...until she meets Luke Fontaine. Haunted by his own secrets, Luke would never blame Lettie for what happened in the past. One glance at the pretty redhead is enough to fill the handsome, hard-driving pioneer with a savage hunger. Against relentless snows, murderous desperadoes, and raiding Sioux, Luke and Lettie will face a heartrending choice: abandon a lawless land before it destroys them, or fight for their Wildest Dreams. An emotional saga from the "QUEEN OF WESTERN HISTORICAL ROMANCE" that will captivate fans of Debra Holland, Jodi Thomas, Diana Palmer, and Linda Lael Miller.

Book Description
A fiercely independent heiress and a wild cowboy find strength with each other in the Wild West in this inspirational romance by the author of Finding Promise. For English heiress Mary Ann Hardwicke, the Wild West is the perfect place to make her own life and escape a stifling arranged marriage. Hard at work proving her independence, it’s little wonder she has no time for handsome cowboy Luke McBride. No matter that he somehow understands the freedom she so badly needs—how could she trust such a wild spirit, much less find a way to love him? Like the broncs he busts, Luke doesn’t see himself settling down in one place, let alone with one woman. So, at first, Mary Ann is just an intriguing challenge. But her determination and bravery spark a longing to prove he can be the truly good man she deserves. Now as their enemies work to separate them, they will take a dangerous gamble on faith to claim an enduring love . . . “It is bittersweet when a series ends; questions are answered, readers are reunited with beloved characters. Mary Ann was a favorite; she defied her family and society to explore the Wild West to prove she could take of herself. Dunn is a talented author who has brought new and refreshing ideas to the historical romance genre.” —RT Book Reviews “This one swept me off my feet . . . I didn’t want it to end!” —First for Women

A man not interested in hiking, fishing, or hunting. So, why was he there? Two miners have gone missing. Their disappearance has been ruled accidental. To the firm that sent them to Alaska, that answer is unacceptable. Luke Reis has been dispatched to learn more. Gaining access to the remote wilderness isn't so simple, though. He'll have to enlist the owner of the Marmot Hideaway to help get him started. As Luke and Sara dig deeper into the disappearance of the miners, they edge closer to passion. But the abandoned network of underground mines may stake the ultimate claim…their lives.
