A Begrudging Bride - Suddenly left an orphan and forced to leave behind her beloved Kentucky ranch, Camille Waterford answers an ad for a mail-order bride and begins her journey to Wichita, where she will begin her new life. When she reaches Topeka, however, she's plagued with doubt, and decides to remain where she is, taking a job at the Brody Hotel. She plans to pay her groom back for whatever he spent to bring her out west, but she just can't go through with the wedding. He's not happy when he hears the news, but she needs to find her own path and discover for herself what love really is.
A Twisted Fate - Giselle Hardy has worked at the Brody Hotel for quite some time now, and believes she's seen everything. But when a dead deer suddenly lands on the kitchen porch, placed there by a handsome hunter, she has to admit, it takes her by surprise.
Jesse McVey is a man stuck between two worlds - that of the Indians and the white men. He has loyalties on both sides and would rather not choose, but at times, he seems he must - like when it comes to choosing a white wife.
When Jesse's half-blooded sister is put in danger by men who would see her dead, Jesse and Giselle work together to keep her safe - but how can they really protect her from prejudice? And will their own differences bring them together, or drive them farther apart?
An Unspoken Dream - Grace McAllister never asked to be put in charge at the Brody Hotel, but when the dining room manager left to go on her honeymoon, she asked Grace to take over for her. Now Grace is trying to balance the needs of her customers, the challenges of the waitresses, and the attention of a man she absolutely loathes.
Gilbert Howard hasn't had the best of luck with the waitresses at the Brody and has sworn them off altogether, but when he comes to Topeka to discuss a business proposition with his brother, he can't help but be charmed by the pretty blonde girl who runs the dining room. The trick will be convincing her that he's changed.
One girl who wants to be loved, and one man who is just learning that he has love to give . . .
A Joyful Noise - Georgia Baker has worked at the Brody Hotel for several months now with only her employers knowing her secret - she's almost completely deaf. It doesn't stop her from doing her job, though, as she has learned how to read lips, and she gets along quite well.
Pinkerton detective Chet Larsen has come to Topeka on a special case - a train carrying a king's ransom in gold is coming through town, and his sources tell him it's going to get robbed. His duty is to stop that robbery if he's able, possibly saving lives in the process.
When the pretty waitress at the hotel stumbles onto additional information in the case, he realizes that her help might be just what he needs for his job . . . and her love might be just what he needs in his life.
A Passing Glance - Posy McVey left the Kaw village where she was raised and came to live at the Brody Hotel to escape the unwanted advances of a brave in her tribe. She is happy to live near her brother and his new wife, but she misses the freedom she had out on the prairie, and chafes at the restrictions of living in the white man's world.
Parker Monroe is looking for a new job and finds one as a deputy for Topeka's marshal. He and his sister will be moving from the home where they grew up to start a new life in a new place, and meeting the pretty waitress at the Brody Hotel makes the transition easier.
But as pasts are revealed and prejudices come to light, will Posy and Parker be able to sort through their differences? Or are the things keeping them apart too great to overcome?
