The Whisper of Morning - Caroline Hampton is an unmarried, independent woman, able to come and go as she pleases. Working as the manager of the Brody Hotel has suited her, giving her both a home and a career. But lately, she has begun to feel restless, wondering what else might be out there for her.
Since the death of his wife, Wallace Dupree has spent his time alone, working as a train conductor and reading poetry. When he catches sight of the beautiful Miss Hampton, he realizes that a second chance just might be in his future. First, though, he has to convince her to give it a try.
Can a man with a soft heart and an iron will win the heart of a woman who has sworn to remain single forever?
A Careless Wind - When Rachel's fiance was killed in a railroad accident, leaving her with nowhere to go, she came to the Brody Hotel as a last resort. With the help of her new friends, she found comfort and healing, and now she believes herself as content as she can be. But when Nicholas Hardy, her fiance's brother, walks into her dining room, her world falls out from under her. Everything she thought she believed about herself, and him, is called into question.
Nicholas wanted a life of adventure with the girl of his dreams by his side, but the death of his brother cast a pall on everything he'd hoped for. When he sees Rachel again, he thinks life has given him a second chance, but then an injury threatens to take everything away from him again.
Two souls looking for a place to call home . . . and wondering if just by chance, they can find that home together.
A Narrow Road - With her checkered past, Margaret Smith doesn't expect that she'll ever fall in love again. She's happy as she is, surrounded by good friends, but she still sometimes wonders if there isn't something more.
Career cowboy Wade Watkins loves nothing better than the wide-open spaces of the prairie, but when a chance encounter with a beautiful waitress sends her sprawling into the dirt, he begins to rethink his priorities.
One is coming to terms with her past. The other is looking for a door into his future.
The Bitter and the Sweet - A year ago, Sarah Palmer was utterly humiliated in every possible way while visiting her cousin in Denver. She vowed she'd never go back to that awful place, but then she gets a letter telling her that her aunt has fallen ill and would like to see her . . . in Denver.
Stephen Howard feels terrible for the way his family treated Miss Palmer the previous summer, and wishes he could do something to make up for it. When she returns to Denver to visit her aunt, he realizes that this could be his chance.
Two people from two entirely different walks of life, so different and yet so much the same. As they navigate all the roadblocks keeping them apart, will they learn to endure the bitter so they can eventually taste the sweet?
The Calm of Night - A harsh winter storm has blown into Topeka, making train travel impossible and trapping people in their homes. No one can leave the Brody Hotel, either, not without risking their safety in the whiteout.
Nancy Ann Morgan has taken a job at the hotel after being thrown out by her mother, who is still grieving the death of her husband, a Union soldier. Timothy Hancock is the son of a Confederate lieutenant. When the storm forces them together, they must overcome their differences - or lives could be lost, including theirs.
Genre: Romance
