Can such a paradoxical love prevail? Their connection was immediate and unavoidable, but will Miss Purdy's secret and Joshua's prejudices keep them apart?
The Bounty Hunter and the Shopkeeper
The young Miss Purdy had enough to do running the mercantile and restaurant she just inherited, she did not want to own the saloon also. That establishment was bequeathed to the nephew of the deceased previous owner, his aunt, and the woman who adapted Miss Purdy as an infant. At first he wanted no part of owning the saloon, his career as a notorious bounty hunter was satisfying and financially rewarding enough.
​
​Joshua Jones had no desire to be tied down to one place. Except it was not appropriate for a young woman to own a saloon. But, according to his Aunt Minnie, the only alternative, if he chose not to decline the gift, was for Miss Purdy to become the sole owner. However, that was not his concern, was it?
​
Miss Purdy had no intention to fall in love with the bounty hunter, but she had never met anyone like him. If she told him her secret he would hate her, but he was the only one in town who did not know, making it a frustrating mystery for him. Something ignited unfamiliar emotions in him when he met the dazzling Miss Purdy. Love struck like lightening, until his bigotries and her secret split them apart. Was it possible for him to overcome the prejudices coming between them, or does the bounty hunter resume his nomad career, leaving Miss Purdy and the saloon behind?

Did Emmy discover the clues to a murder in a ghost town, or was she making more of the scene than it deserved?
But gold coins and blood stains don’t lie. She was sure this was the site of a recent murder, and there was a story for her to tell. First, she had to convince the resistant county Sheriff of the possible crime. Would their immediate animosity for each other complicate things?
Emmylou O’Hara, a New York City debutante, dreamed of a career as a journalist out west. At the first opportunity, she left her affluent lifestyle to find her way to the Silver Cliff, Colorado newspaper as their crime reporter, or so she presumed. She stumbled across a possible murder scene in an old ghost town.
However, Sheriff Brandon Faith in the neighboring town of Silver Cliff would not believe her, pitting the two against each other.
Because of his reluctance to follow up on the evidence, although circumstantial, she began to believe that Sheriff Faith was mixed up with the notorious LeBlanc Gang terrorizing the county. Was he intentionally thwarting her investigation as a journalist? Will she be able to confirm that there was a murder and search for the truth in spite of the Sheriff’s interference? What happens then? Will the investigation become even more awkward with their growing mutual attraction? What about the LeBlanc Gang and their crime wave?
She was more than he anticipated, and he was less than she expected; who was right, and what would happen next? There was so much at stake that this could not end well for either of them. Could it?

The Rancher's Made to Order Bride​
Book 2 in the 'Finding Love in Las Animas' Series
Marcus Expected A Chambermaid But Instead Received A Bride.
She was not planning on staying around long, but the best laid plans can always change and usually do.
Chrystal was sent west to the ranch for her own protection, but she never meant to stay. Life as a maid to a man with questionable morals and an even darker reputation was not what she’d imagined for herself. She had a better offer waiting - one that promised freedom and a future far from the dust and secrets of Las Animas. But out on the frontier, the best-laid plans have a way of unraveling. And when they do, hearts are tested, loyalties shift, and regrets can last a lifetime.
​
When Chrystal makes an enemy of the cruelest, nastiest man in the town of Las Animas her life only goes from bad to worse. That was until her ex-employer, the woman from back east who fired her and sent her away, arrives at the ranch to complicate matters between Marcus and Chrystal. Could love show itself and conquer all, or was love and happiness just a childish fancy spun from dreams and desperation to give Chrystal the false hope that life could finally go in her favor?
​
Marcus never expected to fall for the young woman he’d taken in out of obligation. Yet something about Chrystal - her strength, her defiance, her untamed heart - stirs something deep within him. Still, pride runs thick in his blood, and words don’t come easy to a man like him. If love is to stand a chance, Marcus must confront not only his own stubborn nature but also his scheming sister and a vengeful brothel owner determined to destroy them both.
​
Set against the rugged backdrop of the American frontier, this tale of passion, peril, and redemption reminds us that love is the hardest battle to win - and the only one truly worth fighting for.

The Marshal and the Duke's Daughter​
She was there to marry a British Duke, not a Western town marshal. He was not expecting such a beauty or the trouble that came with her. They were obviously not right for each other, but he would protect her at all costs.
In England, Lady Victoria Montague’s life was in grave danger, so her father, the Duke of Westernshire, sent her to her aunt in America with plans for his daughter to marry a young, displaced English duke out west, far from any threat on her life. Though he was a man she knew nothing about, for her father she would go through with the arranged marriage. Unexpectedly, the danger followed her anyway. Fortunately for her, the small town marshal was there to save her from an attempted assassination, but he intentionally withheld a vital secret from her. A secret that would change her future.
While there were other attempts on her life the marshal was always there to insure her safety, even at the risk of his own. Improperly, affections grew toward her savior, even though she was betrothed to another and knew it would never work. She was the daughter of a duke and related to the Queen, and he was a simple commoner and a public servant.
When she finally does meet her fiancée and learns how horribly she had been deceived there was no way this marriage could take place. She would immediately return to England preferring to face any dangers with her father. It was just that assassins could be anywhere, making the return home a perilous journey. Until she was safely on her way back to her true home she was forced to rely on the marshal to protect her. However, the assassins would always be in pursuit and someone close to her secretly aided the vile person directing the hired killers. Until the person behind the attempts on Lady Victoria’s life was stopped she would always be in danger.
The marshal instantly fell for the lovely Lady Victoria and would do all he could to have her voluntarily stay and be his bride. Could he change her mind about leaving as they spent more time together, or were they destined to be apart?

About the Author
I am a story teller, always have been since I tried to write my first novella in third grade. The science fiction catastrophe has fortunately been lost over the years. A second attempt a year later did not fare much better. Years later I turned my imagination and emotions to poetry, and spending my with available time with family, several different careers, and the usual life experiences. Now, much older and wiser, the lessons of life, not only my own experiences but those learned from the numerous people I have encountered over the years, have motivated and guided me to become an author, hopefully with noteworthy success.
My creativity and imagination help me craft my thoughts, dreams, and emotions into words on paper and into a computer document, with the idea to entertain, enlighten, and inspire my readers. I write for the gratification it gives me, but also with the hope that my books will take the reader into an escape from reality, while learning a life’s lessons along the way. So I hope you enjoy my stories, as much as I have enjoyed writing them. They have always been a labor of love. Best Regards, T.B. Meldrum
