Out of work cowpoke Bud Eugen comes across Marta, a mute sixteen-year old Mexican girl whose family has been killed by Indians. Bud reluctantly takes her along, even though he’s never had to accommodate another person in his simple life. He’s unable to find anyone willing to take her. In spite of his prejudices, Bud grows to like the spunky girl (and her excellent cooking). Eventually, they both find work on a border ranch. Here, the relationship between the girl and the young cowboy hesitantly grows. But banditos raid the ranch, kidnapping the rancher’s daughters and Marta. Bud, with twelve other men, pursue the banditos into the most desolate reaches of Mexico. Ambushes and battles with banditos, Rurales, and traitors are constant, and the brutal weather is as much a threat as the man-made perils. Life and death choices are made at every turn as one side gains the advantage, then the other. The rancher’s daughters are rescued, and the exhausted party turns back. But Bud presses on alone, against insurmountable odds, determined to fulfill his unspoken promise to Marta.

The Harlequin (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, Novels)
by Laurell K. Hamilton'They will play with us, then destroy us... They are what we fear in the dark.'The first warning is unexpected, calculated. The second warning is a gift: a plain white mask, carefully wrapped. But white is good - white means we are only being watched. It seems the power that connects me, Anita Blake, with Jean-Claude Vampire Master of the City and Richard, leader of the werewolves, is attracting very unwelcome attention - from creatures so feared no vampire will willingly speak their name. They are known as the Harlequin, and they have the authority to pass judgement upon me. It is forbidden to speak of the Harlequin unless you've been contacted. And to be contacted is to face a sentence of death.
The Harlequin: The untold story of The Harlequin
by Natașa Alina CuleaThe Harlequin compresses, in a perfect unitary whole, essences of epochs, of intense experiences, of ways to love, of passionate effluences. The story has a dual flow, in sliding planes. One having the speed and the modernism of the present, the other, the aesthetics and romance of other times. The story of Natasha is wrapped in an ethereal sensuality that is always present, due to the experimental way of tasting the environment, practiced by its protagonists, but some episodes of ravishing passionate eroticism and exaggerated sexual fetishes do appear, almost clinically observed, like a sequence of symptoms that establish a diagnosis. The Harlequin is a seductive cultural, historical and psychological journey. A journey in time and space, but also on the meandering paths that ensure the connection between mind and soul. It's a documentary-warning and a manifesto of hope. A sumptuous novel, of a bizarre splendor, like a museum of torture arranged in a waltz salon.
The Harlot Countess (Wicked Deceptions #2)

He's a rising star in Parliament--and a former confidant and love interest of Maggie's who believed a rumor that vexes her to this day. FICTION: Maggie is the Half-Irish Harlot who seduced her best friend's husband on the eve of their wedding. She is to be feared and loathed as she will lift her skirts for anything in breeches. Still crushed by Simon's betrayal, Maggie has no intention of letting the ton crush her as well. In fact, Lemarc's cartoons have made Simon a laughingstock. . .but now it appears that Maggie may have been wrong about what happened years ago, and that Simon has been secretly yearning for her since. . .forever. Could it be that the heart is mightier than the pen and the sword after all?

The Haunt of Home: A Journey through America's Heartland
by Zachary Michael JackWhat does it mean to deeply love a home place that haunts us still? From Mark Twain to Grant Wood to Garrison Keillor, regionalists from the Gilded Age to the Digital Age have explored the American Gothic and the homegrown fatalism that flourish in many of the nation's most far-flung and forgotten places. The Haunt of Home introduces us to a cast of real-life Midwestern characters grappling with the Gothic in their own lives, from promising young professionals debating the perennial "Should I stay or should I go" dilemma, to recent émigrés and entrepreneurs seeking personal reinvention, to faithful boosters determined to keep their communities alive despite the odds. In The Haunt of Home Zachary Michael Jack considers the many ways a region's abiding spirit shapes the ethos of a land and its people, offering portraits of others who, like himself, are determined to live out the unique promise and predicament of the Gothic.
