The Mysterious Mother and the Tenderfoot Fur TrapperPoor Rose Gray's husband has been murdered by outlaws, and his parents are demanding she leave her own home. She wraps her baby up tight in a blanket, and travels to Come-By-Chance where she meets a very young fur-trapper, Henry Miller.
Turns out Rose has a secret so heartbreaking it'd make even the toughest cowboy shed a tear -- and if young Henry doesn't grow up, step up, and man up, her life won't be worth spit. Meanwhile, the straightest-shootin' Sheriff in the Territory rides into town hot on the trail of one of Slim Jim Murdoch's gang members. Time for some Western Love and Adventure, 1884 style!
The Rich Girl and the Unlikely HeroEmmy-Lou Waters and her rich banker father are traveling to Come-By-Chance when their guards are murdered and they're held up by a desperate dry-gulchin' outlaw - the diabolical Slim Jim Murdoch is back!.
Emmy-Lou's in love with young Gilbert Milligan, but her greedy father has plans to marry her off to the son of a railroad owner, and plans to discredit Gilbert any way he can -- including making a deal with a certain dry-gulchin' outlaw, who plans to burn the townsfolk to death in the church!
The Outlaw & the Sheriff Who Loved HerYoung Ophelia Trigger's trick-shooting would make Annie Oakley look downright average. When Ophelia finds out her father has been murdering innocent people, she runs away with one small gun and a huge dang sackful of his money - but when she leaves, the evil man frames her for murder! Like a female Robin Hood with a six-gun, she goes West to make her escape, and on her way becomes Opal Farewell.
Meanwhile, the straightest-shootin' Sheriff in the Territory, Calvin Johnson of Billings, is on the trail of WANTED MURDERESS - Ophelia Trigger. He might shoot straight, but he'll surely meet his match when he gets to Come-By-Chance to arrest the girl with the opal-colored eyes.
The Widow & the Man Who Loved HorsesCoral Mellors' husband was a no-good, wife-beating horse-thief, and he's just been hanged for his trouble. Coral decides she must keep her son away from wild men and horses, no matter what it takes.
But Western life just ain't that simple, and Coral will need to overcome many obstacles - misunderstandings, secrets, and her son's life in deadly peril from outlaws. It's another exciting adventure in Come-By-Chance, Montana Territory!
