No Man's Land

       Bull riding is a man's world, but June Spotted Elk is determined to make it her own. She's not about to let anyone tell her that girls don't ride bulls - especially not seasoned pro Travis Younkin. Sure, he claims he just wants to keep her safe by keeping her off the bulls, but June knows that he's more worried about her messing up his big comeback season than anything else. But what June doesn't know is how deep Travis's scars run, or how far he'll go to make sure no one else winds up on No Man's Land.


Mystic Cowboy

The White Sandy Reservation needs a doctor, and Madeline Mitchell needs to do a little good in the world. It seems like a perfect fit, until she meets the medicine man, Rebel Runs Fast. As far as Madeline can tell, Rebel's sole mission is to convince her patients that modern medicine can't help them.  And the fact that he makes her heart race every time he looks at her only irritates her more. Rebel swore off the white man's world--and women--years ago. But he's never met a woman like Dr. Mitchell. She doesn't speak the language, understand the customs, or believe he's anything more than a charlatan--but she stays, determined to help his people. He tries to convince himself that his tribe doesn't need her, but when patients start getting sick with strange symptoms, he realizes that he needs her more than ever. 


Buffalo Gal 

 

       What’s a vegetarian to do? That’s the question Lacy Mayer keeps asking herself. She left behind her boring, organic, carbon-neutral life and took a teaching job on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. She wants to make a difference—but different doesn’t begin to describe what’s waiting for her. 

       Different is Ian Tall Chief. The assistant football coach at the high school, he dresses like the Indian version of James Dean—and acts like it, too. Ian is everything Lacy is not—confident in any social situation, comfortable in his skin, handy with a hammer, and experienced with the opposite sex. Nothing boring, organic, or carbon-neutral about him. What’s a vegetarian to do when the biggest, baddest jock on the reservation wants her to come out and see buffalo?

Even Good Guys Wear Masks

       Mary Beth is the kind of woman who wishes she had a five-second delay on her mouth. The swath of verbal destruction she leaves is why she goes west to start over. But any resolve to hold her tongue is lost immediately when she meets Jacob, a Lakota cowboy who says next to no thing –especially about the black leather mask that covers half his face.

       Jacob’s silence is his armor in a white man’s world, but even that isn’t enough to protect him – or the mute albino girl he guards – from forces he can’t control. Fascinated by the man in the mask and drawn to defend the albino, Mary Beth finds herself in the middle of a decades-old power struggle that only she could talk her way out of.


                                  Warrior, Lawyer

       Nick Longhair may be a dirt-poor Indian from the reservation- but he's also a man on a mission. His battles today aren't fought on the battlefield, but in the courtroom, and he won't let anyone get in his way of fighting for his tribe- including socialite Clarissa Sutcliffe. Living a life of expensive artifice, Clarissa was hoping a Harvard law degree would be the one real thing she could hold onto. But she never bargained on meeting a real cowboy who calls her "Ma'am."
