Delaney's Crossing
by Jean BarrettVirile, womanizing Cooper J. Delaney was Agatha Pennington's only hope to help lead a group of destitute women to Oregon, where the promise of a new life awaited them. He was a man as harsh and hostile as the vast wilderness-- but Agatha counted on a gentleness she sensed behind his hard-muscled exterior, a tenderness lurking beneath his gruff facade. Tricked by Agatha into leading the women, at first Delaney couldn't wait to get away from the prim-and-proper old maid. But as the group battled rainstorms, renegade Indians, and raging rivers, the tall beauty's tenacity never wavered. And with each passing mile. Cooper realized he was struggling against a maddening attraction for her--until he decided, much to his surprise, that he would journey to the ends of the earth if only he could claim her untouched heart.
Bullet Barricade
by Leslie ErnenweinHe was muy hombie, this Clay Spain, tough as all the trails he had ridden, ruthless as the frontier he roamed--intimate with death more than once. And he was a loner. Then he rode into Apache Basin--the torn and bloody range straddled by violence, trampled by a cattle king hungry for power. It was none of Clay Spain's business, not his brand of trouble. Until a girl's angry challenge got under his hide--and then Clay Spain rode out, armed with his gun and his careless courage--to dispense justice where the law had never reached!
Cimarron Bride
by Catherine CreelImpulsive, spirited Jessie Clare had been looking for adventure when she journeyed to Cimarron, New Mexico. But the spunky schoolmarm got a lot more than she bargained for when marauding Apaches captured her--and would release her only to the man who claimed he owned her. The one thing that alarmed the beautiful innocent even more was when Cimarron rancher Ben Chandler showed up swearing he was her betrothed--and that he'd make her his woman in an Apache ceremony that very night! Terrified to be an Indian slave, Jessie had no choice but to submit... and become a victim of the brash frontiersman's wicked, bold loving. UNTAMED AS A WILDCAT Virile widower Ben Chandler wanted nothing to do with troublemaking ladies, but when the town elected him to rescue the outpost's schoolmistress, he had to say yes. At the redskins' camp, he was shocked to discover Jessie would be freed only if he "married" her--and even more surprised to see how young and desirable she really was! His passions ruled his head, and Ben possessed the golden-haired gal every way imaginable. Between his unrestrained kisses and her ineffective struggles, the hot-blooded male taught the teacher the facts: Fight and end up a very dead and heavenly spirit, or obey and become his breathing, willing Cimarron Bride.

Bitter Grass
by T. V. OlsenThe Civil War changed many things for many men, and Jonathan Trask was no exception. Returning home after two painful years in a Yankee hospital and prison camp, he found his mother dead, his father a hopeless drunk, their once-prosperous ranch a shambles, and the girl he loved married to his brother! A lesser man might have given up in despair, but these setbacks merely tempered the steel in Jonathan's character. He suppressed his personal problems by devoting his full energies to rebuilding the ranch. Within a few years his success was acknowledged throughout Texas and his name was spoken with respect and fear. But Jonathan's empire had a fatal flaw and as his wealth and power grew, so did the seeds of self-destruction. BITTER GRASS is an exciting western of a dynamic man destroying himself through the misuse of power. Note from T. V. Olsen Author Frontier historians, professional and amateur, will recognize BITTER GRASS as being in large part a highly fictionalized account of the career of Isom Prentice "Print" Olive, a real-life pioneer cattleman of Texas and Nebraska. With a few exceptionsmost notably Alex McKennathe key characters are drawn from life to one degree or another, as is much of the narrative. However, because my characterization of actual personalities is imaginary, because many of the events are either fictitious or based only slightly on fact, and because the chronological sprawl of a single career has been here compressed into a ten-year period, I have assigned fictional names to most places and all but a handful of historical persons mentioned (i.e., McCoy, Hickok, Shanghai Pierce). While the vigorous and violent public (but not private) life of the real "Print" Olive is paralleled very closely by that of the fictional Jonathan "Buck" Trask, no aspect of this book should be regarded as the author's opinion of "how it might have been." BITTER GRASS is a novel, not a speculative work. Both fact and speculationand two diametrically opposed viewpoints on the character of "Print" Olive are abundantly presented in Harry E. Chrisman's THE LADDER OF RIVERS and Man Sandoz' THE CATTLEMEN, to which I refer the curious reader.
