About this listen
Rancher Roby Bradford isn’t looking for a wife, but he changes his mind when he receives letters from a charming widow in Boston. Valerie Hartmann must escape the trap her powerful brother-in-law, Edward Hartmann, has set for her - marry him or lose her five-year-old son, Joshua. Her only hope is to flee with Joshua and marry Roby in Planters Point, Nebraska.
Edward discovers where Valerie has fled. He boards a train west, and upon arrival, begins hunting her down. While Roby is out rounding up loose cattle one day, Valerie and Joshua are taken at gunpoint. Edward plans to dispose of Valerie and abduct Joshua.
Roby finds out and gives chase, but time is against him. Can he save the woman and the son he’s come to love?

With her ranch on the line and three younger sisters to care for, Sunny Thornton is in no position to take on any more responsibility. But when she learns that the man who was paralyzed saving her life in a bank robbery isn't being cared for, she feels it's her duty to help him. She isn't moved by his attempts to push her away, nor does she care that he is an ex-con. As far as she's concerned, Ash has paid for his crimes. Plus, she can't deny the stirrings inside of her whenever he's near.

Marshal Shay McQuillan has a lot on his hands - stagecoach robbers to hunt down, a murdered fiancée to avenge. He certainly doesn't need an identical twin brother he never knew existed turning up out of the blue and telling him what to do. Even less does he want pretty Aislinn Lethaby trying to rescue him from danger. Because, to tell the truth, Aislinn is a sweet distraction from duty whom Shay just can't resist.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 442
Owen Wister’s The Virginian pre-dates the classic novels of Zane Grey and Max Brand and is considered by many to be the original Western. Dedicated to Wister’s friend and fellow outdoorsman Theodore Roosevelt, this timeless tale almost single-handedly established the cowboy archetype in literature. A quiet, noble foreman of a Wyoming cattle ranch in the 1870s, the Virginian falls for pretty schoolteacher Molly Wood. But when a rival suitor challenges his honor, the Virginian struggles to make his beloved Molly understand the harsh justice of the West.
