Jonathan Trask returns from the war after two hard years in a Yankee hospital and prison camp. Any other man might have been broken, but not Jonathan.His homecoming, too, might have shattered a man of lesser spirit. The Texas cattle kingdom that his father and brothers had built up had his father a drunk, his mother dead, the ranch a shambles, and the girl he loved married to his brother.But Jonathan was strong and iron-willed; with sheer force and energy he rebuilt his empire against a band of professional rustlers, against the inevitable breakup of his family. Yet behind this man who was so ruthless and domineering, was a slight gent whose soft-spoken way with the law would be the ultimate power in saving Trask from his own worst enemy--himself.

Cover for The Tan-Faced Children

For Clay Baker, the path was clear: forced into exile in the Idaho Territory wilderness by the abrupt failure of a small bank where he had begun his career, he must now learn to master the harsh environment before it masters him. And even worse, despite its awesome natural beauty, the territory offers some of the least beautiful people Clay could ever hope to encounter. Riding deep into the rugged terrain of Jackson's Hole with a mountain man and his Indian wife, he reluctantly acquires the skills necessary to his survival. Food is scarce, friends scarcer, and the winters colder than a man could imagine. As he learns to cope with the dangers that each new day brings, Clay strengthens his body and character almost without realizing it. He must watch friend turn against friend, and disease and madness turn against both. Month after month he endures the hardships of the territory, with no reward except the faint hope that he might live to return to society and his chosen profession.

Texas wasn't big enough for gambler and gunfighter Rogate "Rogue" Bishop. He'd been invited to come to Cedar Valley to help settle the range war.

Despite the fact that he was on the Texas Rangers' list, when trouble erupted at the Hatchet Ranch, the temptation for one last troubleshooting job proved too great for Rogue. The Hatchet Ranch owner's daughter is missing, and Rogue needs the handsome reward money being offered to bring her back safely to her father. Soon, the blast of six-guns rips across the valley and Rogue Bishop is in the middle of the gunfire.
