“Winifred Parker climbed her way out of poverty by marrying into one of philadelphia’s oldest, wealthiest families. Now seventy-two years old, she has always felt that her son married beneath him and she has had no contact with her daughter-in-law, Zoe, since her son was killed in Korea.
Zoe Parker lives alone on twenty-eight acres of rural Carolina land that she inherited from her parents. Determined to preserve her property when faced with the threat of foreclosure, Zoe, now in her fifties, has no choice but to turn to her wealthy, estranged mother-in-law.
Katie Parker is a young divorcee whose daughter recently passed away. When she returns home to Zoe’s land to heal, she knows enough about her mother’s history to be surprised to find her grandmother living there, too.
Though old grievances stand between the three women, new challenges and grave danger cause them to forge a new path together, and they soon find unexpected bonds forming along the way.”
Buck Peters put everything he owned into the Bar-20 ranch. The spread was a dream come true for his family-a permanent home and livelihood on the beautiful, wild Western frontier.
Just as he began to hope that his life would continue playing out this idyllic perfection, Buck’s whole world is turned upside-down by a band of renegade buffalo hunters. Threatening Buck’s spread, his cattle, his family, and even his life. These thugs swear to let nothing and no one get in there way.
That’s when Hopalong Cassidy rides in……..
Reformed from his days of covert-operations, Paul Janson has set a new mission for himself. Working in partnership with champion sharpshooter Jessica Kincaid, he rehabilitates disenchanted agents and helps them create new lives outside of violent intelligence sector. These former operatives then form a net-work of support for Janson when it comes to his other job-Janson also takes on independent assignments. For a fee, he’ll use his skills to resolve international crises. But only those actions that he believes contribute to the greater good of all.
Whether he’s rescuing an American doctor from Somali pirates, attacking militant thugs intent on murdering a west African public servant agitating for human rights, or hunting the money-lenders who capitalize on barbaric civil war, Janson stays honest with three simple rules: 1) No torture; 2) No civilian casualties; 3) No killing anyone who doesn’t try to kill them. Yet with his commitment to doing what is right-while facing canny intelligence operatives, ruthless warlords, deeps sea marauders, or brutal dictators- Janson finds that his most difficult task is figuring out if he’s fighting for the good side.
Johnny Diamod was just a kid when his entire family was wiped out and the stock run off. He’d been away at school or he’d be dead too. Now, six years after the massacre, Johnny is heading north from his Texas ranch, hell-bent on revenge.
The murderers were thought to be Apaches, but Johnny jas found a clue in the murders, a clue that turns the theory of an Apache killing on its head. He found a copper disk that was negotiable for drinksat a bar located in Las Peridas County, Colorado, hardly something the Apaches would have left behind.
Once he reaches Las Perdidas County, Johnny quickly finds that he is not welcome… in fact, his life isnt’t worth a plugged nickel. Undaunted, he investigates until the final showdown. Some will live and some will die, but Johnny will avenge the murder of his family, or die trying.
