Stay With Me-
She was beginning a new life. His old life was calling him back. A chance meeting would put them on a new path - together.
Hayden Samuels worked hard to make something of himself. Unable to follow in his father's footsteps he found work that gave him a purpose and joy. Now he has to return and tell his father that he wants to live his life on his own terms, even if that strains their relationship to the breaking point. But when the stage rolls into town he comes face to face with a young woman that makes him think twice about leaving.
Edythe Devon had worked for her father for years and now she wants a life of her own. Taking a chance by moving to the town of Ellingsford, Montana, she arrives just in time to meet a young man who makes her dream of more than just 'getting by' on her own. But there are those who would keep the two apart and a family emergency might just divide them for good.
Her Gentle Heart-
A snowed in train brought her into his life. His stubborn ways put walls between them. When the snows let up, will they go their separate ways or will he warm to Her Gentle Heart?
Hampton Wells has been working hard at one train station after another, biding his time until there's a job for him to be the one in charge. Trouble is, he's been hiding an important secret from his friends and his boss. And now, temporarily situated at Ellingsford, Montana during a snow storm, his secret is about to be revealed and threaten his job. Or, he could let down his walls and ask for help. But that's not really the kind of man he is.
Rosina Valero was a young woman in search of her place in life. She lost her teaching position when the school closed for the winter and boards the train to travel to other towns looking for work. Heavy snowfall holds her up in Ellingsford, but snow's not the only thing that needs to melt when she unwittingly discovers Hampton's secret. Will he accept her help, before it's too late?
Hold Her Close-
He was tired of gambling his life away, one lonely night after another. She was struggling to keep her family together. Maybe they could take a chance on love... together.
Perceval Hillard isn't anything like his namesake from Arthurian Legend, but the men who sit down to a poker table with him, call him "Hill." They knew they'd likely leave with their pockets empty and a sour look on their face. He's made a fortune over his life and lost enough to know he's nearly done. He wants a life away from the table. That didn't mean marriage. What woman would want a man who'd made his living shuffling a deck of cards and that he'd wasted years of his life.
Faith Carver could barely remember what it was like to be happy and carefree. All her younger brothers could remember were long days and cold nights. They lost their father first and their mother to illness after that. Selling off their mother's precious collection of books has gotten them so far, but when their travels puts a strain on her brother's health, they stop in Ellingsford, Montana, and Faith needs to find a job to cover their expenses.
Hill is sure he's seeing things when he finds an angel wiping down the table at the Saloon. She was made for quiet days in a home full of things as beautiful as she is, not working until her hands are raw and red. When he finds out that Faith isn't traveling alone, he's surprised that he finds himself warming up to the Carver family instead of running in the opposite direction. Falling in love with an innocent like Faith might be the biggest gamble he's ever made.
