DESERT DREAMS
Lizzy grew up on a farm in Kansas as the oldest child of eight children. She spent her days caring for her siblings and working on the farm. One hot summer day, her parents gave her an ultimatum; marry a man her father chose for her or move out. Not wanting to marry a man who is almost as old as her father and knowing she was just another mouth to feed, she decides to apply for the position to be a waitress with the Fred Harvey Company, who owned many fine eating establishments along railroad lines, including the Santa Fe Railroads.
Three years later, Lizzy is still working as a Harvey Girl and enjoying her new life and her job at the El Tovar Hotel near the Grand Canyon. Then her life is about to drastically change once again when she meets widower Nicholas Montgomery and his two young sons. Will they both be able to put their pasts aside and admit their love for each other?

DESERT BELLS
Josephine was expected to marry Matthew, a childhood friend, her entire life. When he was given the opportunity to go to college to become a doctor, Jo decided she also wanted to have her own adventure, so she decided to apply to become a Harvey Girl. She would work as a waitress while Matthew completed his schooling, even though her mother was very against the idea, and threatened to disown her if she left.
Over the next few year, she enjoyed her new job and seeing parts of America she didn’t think she’d ever have an opportunity to visit. But something unexpected happened. Early in her training as a Harvey Girl, she met Dalton Jackson. Over the following months, she slowly became good friends with Dalton and his adoptive family, the Montgomery’s. As she got to know Dalton, she started to realize she was planning on marrying Matthew only because it was expected of her.
Eventually Josephine realized she needed to make a decision. Suddenly, circumstances changed. Should she leave her job for the man she was expected to marry or should she follow her heart?
