FIRE EYES by Cheryl Pierson
Beaten and wounded by a band of sadistic renegades that rules the borderlands of Indian Territory, U.S. Marshal Kaed Turner understands what the inevitable outcome will be for him: death. But Fate and a war party of Choctaw Indians intervene, delivering him instead to a beautiful angel with the skill to heal him. Jessica Monroe has already lost a husband and a brother to these outlaws. Can she afford to gamble with her heart one last time?

ALL MY HOPES AND DREAMS by Celia Yeary
To escape an arranged marriage, beautiful, proper Cynthia Harrington impulsively marries Ricardo Romero, a sensual Spaniard who ranches on the edge of the Texas frontier. She struggles to gain a foothold in the hostile household, determined to make a place for herself—but will she also find a way to make her husband love her?

TEXAS GOLD by Tracy Garrett
Texas Ranger Jake McCain is hot on the trail of a band of murderous outlaws when they ambush him and leave him for dead in the blinding snow. The last thing Rachel Hudson expects the blizzard to bring is a wounded Ranger with a pack of trouble. She and Jake have more than a powerful mutual attraction in common—the dangerous gunmen he’s been chasing intend to steal Rachel and her brother, Nathan. But Jake’s not about to lose the woman who means everything to him—Rachel, his TEXAS GOLD…(Previously published as TOUCH OF TEXAS)

THE COMANCHERO’S BRIDE by Kaye Spencer
Beautiful heiress Elizabeth White is exiled to Texas until she agrees to marry the prominent politico her parents have chosen for her—Grayson Beal. When Elizabeth is approached at a fiesta by dark-eyed, handsome Mingo Valderas, her heart will never be her own again. But Mingo has a reputation as a Comanchero—a man who is as fast with his knives as he is with his gun. Still, Elizabeth gives her trust to him, and their whirlwind courtship begins. Beal will stop at nothing to claim Elizabeth—and only one man can protect her. Elizabeth and Mingo stay one step ahead of Beal…but will that be enough?

MARGARITA AND THE HIRED GUN by Patti Sherry-Crews
Pampered Margarita McIntosh is sent away by her father for her own safety—from what, she’s not sure. The long journey ahead and the secret she carries in her saddlebag could be the death of her. A rough Irish gunman, Rafferty, is entrusted with getting her to her destination—for a reward—his ticket to a new life. But will Rafferty’s protection be enough to save their lives? And will the heat of their passion seal their future—if they do survive?

XENIA’S RENEGADE by Agnes Alexander
An urgent plea for help from a family member calls for action from Xenia Poindexter and her sister. But traveling west to save their uncle, a raid on a stagecoach way station would have seen them dead if not for a handsome half-Sioux rancher, Ty Eldridge. Ty wants to protect Xenia from her uncle’s schemes, but he’s been burned in the past by love. Though others say they’re all wrong for each other, Xenia has never felt more “right” than when she’s in Ty’s arms. Is true love worth the chance of becoming XENIA’S RENEGADE?

E.E. Burke's Best of the West: Meet the Remington Sisters



Look out world! The Remington Sisters are about to become Mail-Order Brides...

Brought up in the wealth and comfort of Eastern “old money” in staid and proper Philadelphia, the Remington sisters are forced to scatter to the four winds and become mail-order brides. In order to gain a fortune, their sinister step-father, Josiah Bloodworth, has made plans to marry them off in loveless marriages. Time is running out, and no matter what lies ahead in their uncertain futures, it has to be better than the evil they’re running from…

LIZZY by Livia J. Washburn
Elizabeth Remington’s world is turned upside down when she is forced to become a mail-order bride. With her cat, Fulton, Lizzy flees to Alaska—only to discover the man she’s to marry is not who she thought he was! Now, she must protect herself from the biggest danger of all—her own heart. Handsome Flint McKinnon has signed his soul away to her step-father, hasn’t he? He’s chased Lizzy across the continent, but can she believe him when he says he loves her?

BELLE by Jacquie Rogers
Belle Remington must marry someone before the dangerous Neville Fenster catches up with her. She hightails it out of Philadelphia to the wilds of Idaho Territory to become a bootmaker's bride, but when she arrives in Oreana, she discovers her groom has been murdered! Now, handsome, inebriated rancher Cord Callahan insists on fulfilling the marriage contract himself. Belle is beautiful and smart as a whip. But she has a secret. When Fenster shows up, can Cord protect the woman he wants to love forever?

SABRINA by Cheryl Pierson
Impulsive Sabrina Remington, the youngest, weds a man she knows her family would disapprove of. Though Cameron Fraser’s family owns a ranch in lawless Indian Territory, he’s made his way in the world with a gun, living barely on the right side of the law. With everything on the line as Bloodworth and his henchmen close in, will Cam be able to protect Sabrina from the desperate man who means to kidnap her for his own wicked purposes?

LOLA by Celia Yeary
Sensible Lola Remington, the eldest of the four sisters, must be certain the others are on their way to safety before she can think of fleeing Philadelphia herself. With the help of a local bridal agency, Lola finds the perfect husband for herself—in the wild countryside of Texas. Jack Rains owns a ranch and he’s in need of a bride—and children, of course! But just when Lola starts to believe there might be a future for them, she discovers a hidden letter from another woman…Jack’s first wife.

Livia J. Washburn Website - http://liviajwashburn.com

E.E.: How did you come up with the idea for your story? 
Livia: I typically pick Texas to set stories, but I wanted a change, so I picked a place as far from Texas as I could, Alaska. And when you think of Alaska during that time period you naturally think of gold rushes. As for Lizzy, she is also very opposite of me. She can’t cook and is very fussy about her clothing. I love to cook and live in jeans and t-shirts.

E.E.: What is your hero's best quality? 
Livia: Flint McKinnon is a determined and honorable man. He wants to make things right. While he didn’t want to go against his family, he also didn’t want Lizzy having to make any choices that would ruin her life. Little did he know he would fall in love with a very determined woman.


E.E.: What drew your hero/heroine together and made them fall in love? 
Livia: Since Flint is an honorable man he had to chase down Lizzy and make sure she was all right. To let her know he wasn’t a part of the pact his uncle made with her stepfather. He stayed in Alaska to try and get his uncle out of the financial problems he found himself in. Of course, he falls in love with the spunky young lady who traveled clear across the country with her cat.

Award-winning writer Jacquie Rogers grew up in Owyhee County, Idaho, where many of her books are set. She’s the author of a dozen novels, including five books in the Hearts of Owyhee series, three books in the Honey Beaulieu – Man Hunter series, and others.

The Secret to Building a Fiction Writer’s Platform, and Growing Your Audience: Workbook for Published, Unpublished, and Under-published Writers and teaches workshops on both writing craft and the writing business. 


More about Jacquie Rogers

How did you come up with the idea for your story?
Jacquie: I thought it would be fun to do a mash-up of the woman in peril and an arranged marriage.  Belle has to marry immediately to avoid the villainous man her step-father picked for her.  Cord has to honor his deceased brother-in-law’s contracts.  So the two of them are thrown together, but neither of them wants conflict.  Unfortunately, conflict finds them!

What is your hero's best quality?
Jacquie: Cord will go the extra mile to honor his word, and he’s loyal to a fault.  He’s not hard on the eyes, either.

What drew your hero/heroine together and made them fall in love?
Jacquie: Cord admires Belle because she’s both sensible and beautiful.  Even though she’s a city girl, she’s willing to learn to be a ranch wife and is a quick study.  Belle was a mite put off by Cord’s initial inebriation, but then, of course, she was drawn to him physically, and later because of his honor.  They both work hard to make the marriage that neither of them wanted into a love match.  But forces are working against their Happily Ever After.

E.E.: How did you come up with the idea for your story?
Cheryl: Livia and I wanted to write a boxed set about a mail order bride group, and we decided that having them be sisters and all having to scatter across the US would be a perfect angsty scenario.  I wanted to write about the youngest sister because I already knew what my hero was going to be like and knew they’d be perfect for one another.

E.E.: What is your hero's best quality?
Cheryl: Probably Cam’s best quality is his thoughtfulness of others. He is very careful about what he does—because he knows it will affect those around him. He puts his own happiness last because he wants what’s best for his sister, Emerald, and for his mail-order bride, Sabrina.

E.E.: What drew your hero/heroine together and made them fall in love?
Cheryl: Sabrina receives two offers of marriage and Cam’s letter to her sweeps her off her feet with the underlying current of his words to her. When they meet, Cam is enchanted with her. He loves her for her goodness and though he’s not sure at first what has led her to accept his offer, he knows he wants to protect her—and that’s something Sabrina desperately needs.

E.E.: How did you come up with the idea for your story?
Celia: As the oldest sister, I wanted Lola to “have it all,” but I also wanted her to grow into her new role. She’d read somewhere that “The west is not for cowards or idlers. This became her mantra…and her growth as a “Western woman.”

E.E.: What is Lola’s best quality?
Celia: She does not cower under danger or fear. She has an innate ability to save herself, and others if she must.

E.E.: What is the hero’s best quality?
Celia: Admitting when he’s wrong and attempts to correct his errors.

E.E.: What drew the hero and heroine together to fall in love?
Celia: He discovered Lola’s inner strength and loyalty.
She discovered his true nature—that of a loving man who wanted a home with a woman he loved—even though he didn’t know how to show it.
