  The epic story of new arrivals in the Old West—a proud family of dreamers in the wilds of Texas Hill Country . . . 
   
   
   
  They came to America to start a new life. Three brothers and their sister, the Baxter heirs lost everything they had in Europe so they boarded a ship to the Texas coast, hoping to stake a claim in the land of opportunity. They knew frontier life will be hard. But their troubles begin before they even reach Texas. A man is killed on board—a member of the fierce MaClochlainn clan who blame one of the Baxters for his death. So begins a blood-drenched feud that will haunt and pursue them as they try to build a future in Texas Hill Country . . . 
   
   
   
  Now a fugitive on the run, the wrongly accused Perry Baxter changes his name and joins the Texas Rangers—waiting for the day his past catches up to him. His oldest brother, Athelston, struggles to build a ranch in Commanche territory while the middle brother Jeremy turns to gambling and running with outlaws. Their sister, Bodie, falls in love with a rugged frontiersman, who teaches her the importance of riding, hunting—and shooting—in a life-or-death game of survival. Each of the siblings have forged a path of their own. But when one of them is in trouble—and a rival is out for revenge—the Baxters stick together. Because family is family. And blood is thicker than bullets . . .

  In this funny Regency romance series, the Shackleford sisters descend on a Regency society that doesn’t know what’s hit it… 
   
  While Charity Shackleford might be considered far more outspoken than her twin sister Chastity, she was much less inclined to make a complete cake of herself. Something her twin appeared to be doing with increasing regularity. 
   
  Indeed, when details of Chastity’s latest faux pas threatened to travel beyond the confines of Blackmore, it appeared that removing her from the vicinity was the only answer. Naturally, as always, Grace, the eldest daughter and current Duchess of Blackmore was tasked with picking up the pieces. 
   
  Unfortunately, just as she was about to inform their father of her intention to take Chastity for a short holiday to their sister Faith in Torquay, the Reverend was unexpectedly called upon to attend his curate’s sadly dying mother. Firmly of the opinion that their father could not be trusted to stay out of mischief long enough to give anybody the last rites, Grace instructed Charity to accompany him. 
   
  On reaching the trading port of Dartmouth, Charity quickly learned that nothing was as it seemed. Indeed, she discovered her sister’s worst fears were well founded as she, her father and Percy found themself embroiled in a long-standing conspiracy involving smuggling and murder. 
   
  Only the arrival of the mysterious Jago Carlyon stood between them and the infamous leader of the Hope Cove smuggling ring. Struggling to fight her undeniable attraction to the handsome Cornishman, Charity had to decide whether he could be trusted with her heart, or more importantly her life. 
   
  Perfect for fans of Regency Romances with wit and humor and a little bit of steam...
