Lesbian Cowboys
by Sacchi Green Rakelle ValenciaFifteen writers share their take on the phenomenon of Cowboys - a calling, a vocation, and a status that has nothing to do with gender. Whether in the old west or the Australian outback, New England or the Great Plains, these girls and their horses work hard, play hard, and love hard. Contributors Radclyffe and Jove Bell depict the rough and tumble world of female rodeo riders, while Cheyenne Blue explores cattle ranching and the new environmentalism, and Delilah Devlin writes about a "Hired Hand" who may be a woman, but is more than a match for any man. Sexy, steamy, and crackling with the energy of a wild filly, these stories represent the cutting edge of lesbian cowboy fiction.

Und wie um zu beweisen, dass jede gute Tat im Leben belohnt wird, wird Wills Ankunft auf der Ranch von Katrinas Verlobtem Martin in Montana von einem geplatzten Reifen begleitet. Will erhält Hilfe von einem großen, gutaussehenden und geheimnisvollen Samariter, der sich wenig später als Elijah Hunter herausstellt, Martins Bruder, und der am meisten verwirrende, beunruhigende Mann, den Will je getroffen hat. Elijahs kochende Wut über Katrinas schändliche Pläne erstreckt sich auch auf Will, und er verlangt, dass Will so lange auf der Ranch bleibt, bis die Angelegenheit geklärt ist. Will kann zwar Katrinas Platz einnehmen, aber Elijah macht es ihm nicht leicht und stellt Will bei jeder sich bietenden Gelegenheit auf die Probe. Doch dann gelingt es Will, Elijahs Ansprüche mit seinen kompromisslosen Moralvorstellungen noch zu übertreffen. Die gegenseitige Anziehungskraft zwischen den beiden Männern wächst, wird aber durch ein Ultimatum Elijahs kompliziert: Er will, dass Katrina den Ehevertrag einhält - es sei denn, Will stimmt zu, Elijah zu heiraten.

Lightning of Gold: A Western Story
by Max BrandFrom legendary Western author Max Brand comes a tale of covert espionage, gold, and a mysterious figure on horseback. In this dramatic and strange story, Lefty Bill Ranger, an Alaskan mail carrier, travels to Circle City through a terrific snowstorm. There he meets Menneval--a man who is widely feared throughout the territory--and is offered a job. He is to go to Tuckerville, California, and from there to the mountain fastness where Peter Crosson and his son, Oliver, live in total isolation. Menneval wants Ranger to watch and report what he sees for a period of six months. The pay for this espionage will be $6,000 in gold. Ranger, attracted by the money, accepts the assignment. In the Sierra Mountains, Ranger sets up his camp and, pretending to be a trapper, keeps the Crosson ranch under surveillance. One day, Ranger is amazed to witness a gigantic mountain lion being pursued by a pack of wolves and followed by a bronzed youth on horseback. The wolf pack seems to be under the guidance of the youth, who carries only a hunting knife. Later, two hardcases fully armed with rifles and revolvers attempt to enter the Crosson range, intent on rustling Crosson cattle. They disappear, and, when Ranger next sees them, the men are afoot, covered with wounds, their clothes in tatters, fleeing in terror for their very lives. It is here that Lefty Bill Ranger will experience, for the first time, what is called the lightning of gold.
