A new heir to the Parker Ranch? Impossible! Only a true Parker can inherit. Yet Christine Grant and her young daughter, Erin, arrive claiming just that. It’s up to the Parkers to prove otherwise. To do that, they enlist the help of cow cop and temporary foreman Morgan Hughes. Only Morgan has a hard time focusing on his assignment after his first encounter with Christine. Mae is beside herself. She has Rafe and Shannon’s wedding to plan, the yearly family business meeting to arrange, the spring roundup to oversee...and now this!
Mae Parker’s word is law on the Parker Ranch. At eighty-one, Mae is the matriarch of the Parker family and is accustomed to bending everyone to her will. Everyone, that is, except her great-nephew, Rafe, who runs the huge family-owned operation and is equally as iron-willed. Rafe is not at all happy when he learns his great-aunt has picked out a wife for him...and invited her, after a recent accident, to recuperate at the ranch. All his life he’s watched Mae manipulate people—he’ll be damned if he’ll fall in love on her order! The Parker Ranch, run by Parker sons and daughters since before The War Between the States. Tough, rugged, fiercely loyal...to each other and to the people they let into their hearts.
Love, Texas...the last place on earth Cassie wanted to be. To her, it was a plunge back into the long-term nightmare she’d escaped when she turned 18. Yet the small town was exactly where she had to be to negotiate a property deal. Her plan: get in, get the signatures, then get out...as fast as she possibly could! Only Cassie didn’t count on a smoldering feud between the elderly Taylor twins, or that her secret girlhood crush, Will Taylor, would still be so appealing. A quick sale would solve everyone’s problems! Rescue the family ranch, make her boss happy, and let her escape before anyone in town learned that the town kook's daughter was back for more punishment.
Robin could never forget. When she was a child, a man had died saving her from a rogue wave that swept her off the beach...at the cost of orphaning his own 6 children. As she grew up, counseling helped her deal with much of the guilt, but not all. And when an opportunity to repay the family—even in a small way—presents itself, she jumps at the chance. Only is she prepared to be drawn so intimately into their lives when they have no idea who she is?
Thirty years after the Townsend Collection disappeared, it's found! Only where it’s found is enough to give anyone pause, especially Christian Townsend, scion of the wealthy and influential Townsend family. Management of the Orsini Museum in San Francisco panics, unsure if the museum can withstand more bad publicity. Sonya Douglas, museum registrar, is given the assignment to placate Christian Townsend. She is to drop her normal work and smooth his way to the best of her ability when he arrives to investigate the puzzling circumstances. Only the more involved Sonya becomes, the more fascinated she is with both the past crime and the man she has been ordered to assist.
Is someone trying to kill Anne Reynolds? Kind, reliable, longing for a place-to-call-home Anne Reynolds? It was hard for her to believe. But then, it had been hard for her to believe that the townspeople of Overton, California, would turn on her as they had when she testified against the corrupt owners of the town’s largest business. To them, she was to blame for everything bad that followed and they harassed her to the point of driving her away. Shattered, Anne seeks isolation on the beautiful and lonely northern California Coast, where she hopes to heal her nerves and her spirit. Only she soon learns that she’s not as alone as she thought: Robert Singleton—a very attractive man entangled in his own weighty problems—and his determinedly friendly five-and-a-half-year-old son, Jamie, are vacationing in the next cove. Then accidents start to happen...
The Parkers have a problem! Always a rebel, Jodie returns to the ranch after four years at university and one traveling Europe with an even more independent spirit. To her mind, she’s now a fully adult woman who can do as she wishes and make her own choices. Even stand up to her great-aunt Mae and win! Only she’s not taking into account the sudden reappearance of her old boyfriend, Rio—in serious trouble with the law and a desperate need for her help. Or Tate Connelly, the Briggs County Sheriff, she’s been attracted to since she was twelve. Or how much she truly loves her Aunt Mae and her family who’ve always done all they can to protect her from danger...and from herself. Jodie, the rebel, still has much to learn.
Welcome back to West Texas—home of the Parkers! There's nothing and nobody Karen Latham loathes more than the Parkers. Seven years ago, she was left at the altar by one. If she never sees another, it'll be too soon. Even when she inherits an antique shop in Twilight, Texas—about seventy miles from the Parker Ranch—she figures she can avoid them easily enough. Until Lee Parker, her former fiance's brother, shows up. He wants a chance to prove the Parkers aren't what she thinks they are. Karen isn't interested in explanations, but Lee is determined to put things right. There's a lot riding on it—especially now that he's started to fall in love with her. Too bad Karen's out to prove that Twilight isn't big enough for both of them… THE WEST TEXANS
Whether sprawled on barstools or preaching from pulpits, people need to make sense of their world, and in Jim Sanderson's world of West Texas, pulpits and barstools are where many of them do so. Sanderson himself stood for many years at a podium, teaching at a community college in Odessa, Texas. There, tired of academic papers and sometimes losing the distinction between fiction and nonfiction, he turned to the world around him to figure out the meaning (or meanings) of education and of culture itself. In a series of autobiographical ruminations, Sanderson develops the theme that frontier wildness is still alive, especially in West Texas, though it may be repressed by fundamentalist religion and conservative politics. West Texans, he finds, have to reconcile the two sides of their contrary natures: the farmer, best represented by the fundamental church, and the frontiersman, best represented by the sleazy bar. Through this theme of internal conflict, Sanderson weaves his experiences of art and censorship, Texas myths in film and fiction, the interaction of Hispanic culture with the culture of West Texas, contradictions posed by academic interests in vocational teaching institutions, intellectual elitism versus the real world, and West Texas women's definition and self-definition. Through the examples of his students, he shows how the quest for the West Texas myth--freedom, liberation, and fulfillment--is always transforming, whether for good or bad. In the end, he recognizes that his insights may tell more about himself than about West Texas, but by trying to make meaning out of his experience, he tells us something about the way all of us learn and think about ourselves.
