Publisher's summary
Desperate people might do crazy things; crazy like adverting for a mail-order bride; crazy like answering the ad.
Michael Malloy was desperate. His mother had died in a tragic accident nine months prior, and his father had become a drunkard. He ran their ranch but was stuck doing the work of all three.
How could he get some help? How could he fashion a future?
Were any of the girls he knew in Laramie, Wyoming, the answer to all his dreams? Hmm.
He could advertise for a bride, specifying all the attributes he was seeking. It was a gamble - a gamble a desperate man was willing to take.
Callie O’Brien had spent four years in Cincinnati. In all that time, she hadn’t found that good man her pa claimed was out there waiting for her. When the old man Big Red died, she had no place to live. Well, she was stuck in a dead-end job. Maybe, that good man was a rancher in Laramie, Wyoming.
Replying to his ad was more than a little crazy. It was a desperate gamble. She rationalized. How likely was it she’d be chosen?
Callie's Gamble is set in Laramie, Wyoming, in the year 1886. The story follows a lonely and desperate rancher and his mail-order bride - a Kentucky Southern girl, Callie O'Brien. It's a story of adjustments, trials, new adventures, and overcoming life's obstacles.

Since her aunt left an unusual stipulation to her will, Marissa finds herself forced to choose one of them to marry.

Alice Wright marries handsome American Bennett Van Cleve hoping to escape her stifling life in England.

So, when a call goes out for a team of women to deliver books as part of Eleanor Roosevelt’s new traveling library, Alice signs on enthusiastically. The leader, and soon Alice's greatest ally, is Margery, a smart-talking, self-sufficient woman who's never asked a man's permission for anything.

Story
Owen Wister’s The Virginian pre-dates the classic novels of Zane Grey and Max Brand and is considered by many to be the original Western. Dedicated to Wister’s friend and fellow outdoorsman Theodore Roosevelt, this timeless tale almost single-handedly established the cowboy archetype in literature. A quiet, noble foreman of a Wyoming cattle ranch in the 1870s, the Virginian falls for pretty schoolteacher Molly Wood. But when a rival suitor challenges his honor, the Virginian struggles to make his beloved Molly understand the harsh justice of the West.

But now his pa lay dead in a dusty Lubbock, Texas street, back-shot by a wealthy and powerful New Mexico rancher. Over his father's grave he swore to make things right. Neither his age, impossible odds, nor a thousand miles of unforgiving desert would keep Tad Littlejohn from righting a terrible wrong.
