    Two legends of the American West, Preacher and MacCallister have always fought for justice. Even when all parties were guilty. When all hope was lost. And when all the killing started . . . 
 
 
 
WHEN ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE 
 
 
 
It's one of the great mysteries of the Old West. The unexplained disappearance of a hunting party of Prussian nobles who entered the American wilderness—and never returned. Now, years later, the Prussian government demands an explanation. In response, the US Army hires Preacher and Jamie MacCallister to join their search party—along with a band of Prussian soldiers led by the sinister Baron Adalwolf von Kuhner. Some believe it's a hopeless mission, that the original party was slaughtered by the Blackfeet. Others think there may be survivors, most likely women held captive as slaves. But it doesn't take Preacher and MacCallister long to learn the horrible truth . . . 
 
 
 
This is no rescue mission. It's a massacre in the making. And when the hunters become the hunted, all hell breaks loose . . .

    NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLING AUTHOR W. MICHAEL GEAR TAKES YOU DEEP INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS. 
John Tylor figures everything is finally coming his way. He's got what he wants: a free shot into the wilderness where no one will ever know his name or his shame. As he and Will Cunningham head west into the northern Plains, Tylor rescues a wounded hawk, which he had dreams foretelling the event. 
Tylor and Cunningham run smack into a party of Arapaho who is eager to relieve these solitary white guys of everything they've got, including the hawk. Fortunately, guided by visions, Gray Bear and his desperate little band of Shoshoni, arrive in the nick of time to drive off the Arapaho. The wounded hawk is proof of prophecy coming true. 
A half-drowned Fenway McKeever has pulled himself out of the river, and he's enraged and seeking revenge. The Arapaho, feeling they've been humiliated, are also on Tylor and Gray Bear's backtrail, especially with the enticement of a bundle of guns. The race is on and Tylor and company are desperate to make the return to Shoshoni country and the safety of the mountains. 
Will the wounded hawk ever be healed, let alone fit enough to finally take wing? Sometimes the simplest of dreams are the hardest to fulfill.

    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 . . .

    England, 1944. As I look around the childhood room I used to share with my twin brother, Ed, I realize just how much the war has taken from us already. Ed was never the same after he helped our father in the Dunkirk rescue. Clutching his call-up letter in my hands, I know that Ed has fled, leaving behind his family and all he has ever known. But I know that if Ed fails to accept his call-up then he will be found and imprisoned. I’m his sister, and I’ll do whatever it takes to protect him. As I step into his overcoat and study myself in the mirror, I realize there might just be a way to save him, if only I can find the courage to do it. Arriving at the call up, I’m told that I’m to become a Bevin boy, one of the many men called to work in the mines and power the country through the war. I hesitate, unsure if I can really take on such difficult work whilst my friends become land girls and nurses. But my brother and my country need me, and in that moment, I vow to do whatever it takes. As I adapt to my new life, I meet a young man named Peter, and as we grow closer, I realize that I am slowly losing my heart to him. But I know the risks if the secret of who I really am is ever revealed. How much am I prepared to sacrifice for the ones I love the most? Perfect for fans of The Alice Network, The Nightingale, and Rhys Bowen, this completely gripping and heartbreaking story of love, courage, and a sister’s sacrifice shines a light on the forgotten heroes of World War Two.
