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?

The Ghost Town Murder

1st book in the 'Ghost Town' series.

Did she discover a murder in the ghost town, or was she making more of the scene than it deserved. The gold coins don’t lie though. Now she had to convince the resistant county Sheriff, but would their growing attractions for each other complicate things.

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 Marshal and his Teacher

1st book in the 'Finding Love in Las Animus'  Series

He was the marshal, she was the teacher. The love was there, even with multiple obstacle before them, but could they recognize it and hold on to it?

They once knew each other, back when he thought that she was too young for him to court. Gabe Forrester was a wealthy spoilt young man, Miss Kim Keane was the daughter of lowly shop owners. She was infatuated with him, he showed only arrogance and contempt towards her and her parents. She had always dreamed of being a teacher. He had always dreamed of being a cowboy. His dream came true. Her dream was within her grasp, if he did not ruin it for her.

​

Years apart and their paths crossed again, but this time on the other side of the country, in Wild West Colorado. He was now a wealthy rancher and town marshal, she was new to town, ready to take on her first teaching position at a new schoolhouse. They were both alone after the death of their parents.

​

Old heartaches and misunderstandings only lead to new heartbreaks and misunderstanding, along with harmful gossip, which threatened her teaching position. His job as the new marshal, taking on rustlers and a corrupt landowner who enslaved young local Arapaho Indians, threatened his life. There were still sparks between the two. Can they get over their past, and overcome the current challenges to start fresh? Or was it too late?

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
