Best Selling Authors Ellen Anderson, Katie Wyatt
Kansas Territory, June 1866
Josephine Miller had dawdled too long fetching water that morning. She knew it had been a mistake, but hadn’t been able to resist a few extra minutes of peaceful reflection on the beauty of a prairie sunrise as it lit up the purple larkspur and golden sunflowers. She’d spotted an unfamiliar insect that her fingers had itched to add to her sketchbook though there was no time during the busy mornings on the Santa Fe Trail. Now, she needed to hurry back and prayed that her father would be too busy with the wagon and the oxen to notice her tardiness....
... Tom wished he had Sven’s faith in the Almighty. His acquaintance with the Man Upstairs was nowhere near as strong. It was one more thing that drew him to his Swedish friend. There was just something about a man who had that kind of confidence in what he couldn’t see.
He glanced up and watched Jo struggle to light the fire. Her long brown braid kept slipping over her shoulder and she repeatedly threw it back into place without even realizing she was doing it. She was just too pretty for her own good, Tom grumbled inwardly. Why wasn’t she a plain girl or a stocky girl or missing her teeth? Even Ned Harkiss would leave a toothless hag alone, wouldn’t he?

Story
Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Story
Romance can be a little complicated when you get sucked into a wormhole. Just ask high school English teacher June Flint. One little solar flare happens and suddenly you find yourself 85 years in the future. Eighty-five years from your dream job. Your ailing mother whose only companion in this world is you. Your favorite stuffed-crust pizza from DeLucia’s on Sunday nights. But when June’s cell phone inexplicably picks up a signal, she’s able to call back to the present—more specifically, four weeks before she accidentally time traveled.

Story
Angelina Hunter was seriously minded, and it was a good thing. Her father’s ranch needed a woman who could endure the strenuous work of ranch life. Since her mother’s death, Angelina had been that woman. She had no time for frivolity; no time for a less severe side of life. Not when there was so much to be done—hired hands to feed, a widower father to care for and an often ridiculously lighted-hearted younger sister to worry about. No. Angelina Hunter had no time for the things most young women her age enjoyed. And yet, Angelina had not always been so hardened. There had been a time ...
