Enjoy these heartwarming, romantic favorites set in Dakota Territory from Linda Ford! Dakota Child Trapped in a North Dakota blizzard, single mother Vivian Halliday’s prayer for herself and her child is answered. Rescue comes in the seemingly terrifying form of Billy Black, the hulk of a man feared by all the townsfolk. Yet in the home he shares with his ailing mother, the handsome, gentle giant warms her baby’s bottles and sings sweet lullabies that lull even Vivian to peaceful sleep. When the storm abates and it is safe to leave, will she seek the life that led her back to the village…or stay where she’s found an unexpected family for herself and her Dakota child? Dakota Cowboy Surely the handsome cowboy can’t be serious. Lucy Hall’s father wants to see her? Now? After years of being brushed aside, Lucy’s in no hurry to rush to the man’s deathbed. And just as Wade Miller rode into town to bring her father’s message, he can ride right back out with hers. But before Wade can leave, Lucy finds herself witness to a terrible crime, with a killer on her trail. In this storm of trouble, she’ll take any shelter she can find—even if it means going to her father, after all. Yet safety comes at a high price when time with the Dakota cowboy puts at risk the one thing Lucy’s always protected—her heart. Dakota Father It broke Jenny Archibald’s heart to lose her best friend, Lena, to a fever—Jenny’s not about to let any harm come to two-year-old Maggie, Lena’s orphaned daughter. Jenny will take Meggie to the girl’s uncle in Dakota Territory. And if Jenny’s parents won’t let her leave without her promise to marry a man of their choosing on her return, then that’s a trade Jenny’s willing to make. But she never expected to lose her heart to Meggie, to the wild beauty of the frontier…or to Burke Edwards, Meggie’s handsome uncle. Torn between her obligation to her parents and her own dreams of happiness, which will yield—her promise…or her heart?
