The Texan Buys a Gun-Bride, set in the Republic of Texas in 1841, features a fiddle-playing, bullwhip-wielding hero caught up in land squabbles and land fraud among ranchers, cavalrymen, and a group of feisty Scottish emigrants. In Whiskey Creek Stampeders, Glenn Carnagey returns to Oregon’s rough-and-tumble Rouge River mining country, where he is determined to break the stranglehold Charlie Hammaker has on the area by competing against his overland freight line.
