Taking The High Road is a historical, western romance series where the women are strong, mischievous, and can hold their own in bar fights or in sticky situations with the criminals of the wild west. If you like escaping into bygone days, you will love all four stories in this collection.
JOHN YANCEY
Cecilia Powell returns to Boston after graduating from an all-girls exclusive boarding school in Switzerland.
She learns she's illegitimate, and a love child of means, thanks to her father's bequest.
Since all hope for a suitable match is gone, she buries her shame under an assumed identity and flees to San Francisco.
John Yancey, Pinkerton agent, is hired by Cecilia's half-brother to find her.
John embarks on a wild pursuit that takes him from Boston to San Francisco in a case that seems to have more questions than answers.
Who really is Cecilia Powell? Could she be the respectable owner and headmistress of the Academy for Girls she claims to be, or is there a dark secret lurking in her past?
Can John get to the bottom of the case? Just when things seem to be settling down, Cecilia's half-brother shows up, spoiling for a fight.
That's when the complications really begin!
MATTHEW YANCEY
Goldenstar (Star) Mendoza is the daughter of immigrant parents in San Francisco in early 1860s.
She gets suspicious when a wealthy rancher, Franklin Bower, comes along and offers to install her at his sprawling ranch.
Bower wants Star, and he uses blackmail to get her to his ranch. Now she must find a way to determine who is a friend and who is an enemy and she quickly learns that the devil can come disguised as your wildest dreams.
Star finds herself enslaved to Bower with no hope of escape until she happens to cross paths with Texas Ranger, Matthew Yancey.
Is Matt the savior Star has been waiting for all along?
JAMES YANCEY
At the end of the War Between the States, James Yancey, decides to move to California.
During a brief stop in Charleston, his former home, he proposes to Emma Palmer, and she accepts. Once James is settled, he sends for her to join him.
Emma packs her personal belongings and heads west, accompanied by her traveling companion, Molly Buchanan.
In California, Emma dithers and complains about every small annoyance while Molly embraces each new adventure with a can-do spirit. The contrast between these two young ladies couldn't be greater, as James discovers.
James' sense of unease, almost of entrapment, increases the more time he spends with his betrothed. Especially since he is more drawn to Molly than Emma.
But James is nothing if not an honorable man. He knows that sole responsibility for Emma rests on his shoulders. Yet he wants only to be with Molly.
How will this all work out for everyone's happily ever after?
THOMAS YANCEY
Elizabeth Drayton, daughter of a prominent and powerful Arizona rancher, has been kidnapped by a famous outlaw.
Thomas Yancey and Travis Yancey, newly appointed U.S. Marshalls, are assigned to recover her. During the adventure, Elizabeth befriends her captor.
Thomas is also handily smitten with the beauteous and quite capable Elizabeth Drayton. Plans are made to return her to her home, when a crisis intercedes and circumstances change.
