Complete four short story serials

"Desert Rose": Nothing matters but keeping her land

Rose Willingham, oldest sister of four, is level-headed and strong. When her uncle dies, leaving a ranch in Arizona to her and her sisters, she has full confidence they can make the ranch into something to be proud of. What she didn't count on was a snake named Logan Pritchard or a handsome neighbor named Zeke McCammon to both have their eyes on Rose and her land.

One wants Rose along with her land, and the other will do anything to possess one or the other.

"Desert Lilly": Rustlers are after her cattle...Lilly Willingham is after them.

The second installment picks up where the first one left off: As Rose Willingham becomes Mrs. McCammon. Lilly, while happy for her sister, fears the family is being split apart. She has her eye on Luke McCammon, one of Zeke's brothers, and wouldn't mind getting hitched to such a handsome man, but she fears giving in means losing her independence.

When rustlers steal some of the Willingham and the McCammon cattle, Lilly and Luke must set aside their strong attraction for one another and focus on the task of retrieving what is stolen.

"Desert Belle": Her love wasn't for sale. Neither was her land.

The Willingham sister saga continues as Belle is propositioned by the man wanting their land. When she goes investigating as to why he would want a woman like her, she discovered a legend that said there was gold on the Rocking W ranch. She asks Jacob McCammon, the man who is quickly stealing her heart, to help her find it. Together, the two run up against men hungry for what they have and must fight for their lives.

"Desert Daisy": With her sisters gone, it was up to her to save the ranch.

While Daisy Willingham is struggling to prove her worth as the youngest Willingham sister and to show her friend, Daniel McCammon, that she is all woman and not a mere girl, she hears rumors of gold buried on her land. Further investigation shows that the man after their land has a treasure map. Daisy and Daniel steal the map and must fight for their lives against a man who will stop at nothing to gain control of what he wants.
