Sinossi

In "Whispers on Sage," the untamed Wyoming Territory of the 1870s becomes a crucible for redemption and justice. John Hawke, a former U.S. Marshal burdened by his past, seeks a fresh start on the American frontier. As he navigates the harsh landscape, Hawke finds himself caught between homesteaders and cattle barons in a simmering land dispute that threatens to boil over.   
This psychological Western delves deep into the complexities of frontier life, using the vast, unforgiving terrain as a mirror for the characters' inner turmoil. Through a non-linear narrative that weaves past and present, readers witness the erosion of traditional ways and the high cost of progress. The novel eschews graphic violence, instead focusing on the moral ambiguities and human toll of taming the Wild West.   
As Hawke grapples with his own demons, he must also confront the shifting dynamics of a changing America, offering a nuanced exploration of the American Dream and the true meaning of civilization in a lawless land.

Making the Marquess Mine

Karla Kratovil

Miles Weston, the Marquess of Hawksridge, longs for a holiday from his life. He is tired of all the politics in and out of the ballrooms. Ever since his aborted wedding, his aunt has tried to match him with blank-faced debutants at every turn. The only entertaining thing in his overscheduled life is observing the antics of Lady Susanna Ashby, whose beauty and vibrancy brighten the greyest day. 
 
 
 
Susanna's spirit for adventure is matched only by her loyalty to her friends. Determined to help the distractingly handsome, but overwhelmingly serious, marquess, Susanna concocts a plan to distract his matchmaking Aunt Diana. She'll reunite Diana with her long-lost lover who wrote her passionate letters of love and longing. If only Susanna could discover the whereabouts of the mysterious James Marlow. 
 
 
 
As Susanna launches her ill-fated plan, heedless of the danger, her worried friends send Miles to fetch her home. But Susanna has no intention of letting anything derail her quest to find the man from the letters. Not bad weather, broken carriage wheels, or highwaymen. Not even a sexy, managing marquess.

The Explorers

Vivian Stuart

WITH PASSION AND DARING, THEY SEIZED THE PROMISE OF A NEW LAND...
The seventh book in the dramatic and intriguing story about the colonisation of Australia: a country built on blood, passion, and dreams.
The upheavels in the new colony are frequent and radical. A governor has recently been fired, a rebel government has been forced to retreat, and a new governor has arrived in Australia.
Will this mean redemption for the freed prisoners in the exile colony? The country needs its loyal fighters — and Jenny Hawley and her family certainly belong there in spite of their past.
Above all, the new governor needs men of Andrew Hawley and Justin Broome's calibre to be able to transform the country into a thriving, independent nation.
Rebels and outcasts, they fled halfway across the earth to settle the harsh Australian wastelands. Decades later — ennobled by love and strengthened by tragedy — they had transformed a wilderness into a fertile land. And themselves into The Australians.
