    About this series

    A mysterious man captivates a kindhearted medic in this historical western romance from the author of the Kincaids series.

    For widow Mary Inlow, there is little to mourn for her dead husband, the man who mocked her inability to bear him a child. Although she is haunted by nightmares, she is intent to start life anew. Mary becomes a reliable town medic.

    Living an accomplished and peaceful little life alongside her childhood friends, dubbed the Merry Widows, Mary is determined to take her sweet time entering back into the world as a free woman. She vows to never again cater to the demands of another man. That is until one shows up on her doorstep bloody, exhausted, and carrying his life on his shoulders.

    Desperately seeking medical help for his wounded little girl, Rafe McCade barges through Mary’s front door in the worst shape of his life. Ushered into action by a child in need, Mary asks for little information of the frantic father, but his tender care of the child speaks volumes. McCade is forever in debt to Mary for rescuing his daughter. Yet the longer he stays in her home, the more he fears she may just rescue something money cannot repay: a piece of his soul he thought long dead.

      An aristocratic playboy falls for a brash, bold, confounding, yet inexplicably beguiling widow in this historical western romance. For Catherine, widowhood does not mean mourning. It means freedom. Finally experiencing the world outside of her former husband’s strict and watchful eye, Catherine finds new joy in the simplicity of life in the home she shares with her closest friends, Mary and Sarah. With Mary close to having a child of her own and Sarah acting as Mary’s midwife, Catherine is facing an empty house for the first time ever. To make the best of it, she’s agreed to host a good friend’s brother for a much-needed break from his obsessive working. What should be a quiet vacation for Gregory Michael Mayfield III in the tranquility of the countryside, however, quickly turns to disaster. Gregory, used to finery, order, and getting exactly what he wants, arrives earlier than expected, to the surprise of his seemingly scatterbrained but stunning host. Peace and privacy are all Gregory is after, but when he finds himself drawn to Catherine’s own stubbornness and the intelligent nature he at first took for granted, both may fall to the wayside. Will the calamity send Gregory packing or draw him ever closer to the untamable Catherine? “Raine Cantrell is a powerhouse writer whose emotional intensity keeps you enthralled.”—RT Book Reviews
