Mary Ann Cates owns a successful farm with her husband. While not wealthy by any means, life has been good, even with Charlie away most of the time buying and selling cattle. That all changes, though, when he ends up dead in a shootout with the law. Everything he'd ever told her had been a lie. "Cattle buyer" really meant "bank robber" and member of the notorious James Gang. Shattered and alone, the lovely widow is shunned by the citizens of her Kansas hometown and branded the "Outlaw Queen." Rath Macon is a rancher working the Chisholm Trail. In six short years, he has transformed himself from a penniless ex-rebel into a respected cattleman. It's a good life... just not good enough for his wife. After returning from the drive, he finds she's spent all their money and run away with another man. As the bank auctions off everything he's worked so hard for, Rath saddles up and rides out of Texas to look for a fresh start with nothing but three horses and the clothes on his back. That's how fate steps in and lassos Rath and Mary Ann. When their eyes lock, embers ignite. But they've both danced to life's fickle fiddle before. Can they rebuild trust on life's treacherous trail? Time holds the reins to their destiny. In a landscape where pasts are as rugged as the frontier, their story is one of redemption, resilience, and love as vast as the prairie sky.

Clear and a Million (Sierra Hotel)

Is Success More Important Than Love?\nWith Clear and a Million, bestselling author Kent McInnis brings us back to the flawed, feeling, and completely authentic characters from his hit debut, Sierra Hotel.\nReturning to civilian life sounded easy back when Rob Amity was flying jets for the U.S. Air Force. The reality of an empty apartment and the difficulty of finding his place in a civilian world soon have him rethinking his choices. Hoping to find something of the old camaraderie of the squadron flight line, Rob reaches out to his friend Captain Hal Freed, a decorated Vietnam combat veteran. They agree to a road trip on historic Route 66 in Rob's sporty new Porsche, headed for the Grand Canyon. The adventures they find, however, are not quite the kind they seek.\nAfter the trip is cut short, Rob returns to Oklahoma and reconnects with his old flame Suzy Alexander. The widow of his late best friend is now a single mother living with her parents, and she's as lonely and depressed as he is. As romance blooms anew with Suzy, her father helps Rob find a job in the booming local oil business. Intent on proving himself worthy of Suzy's love, he throws himself into the work with abandon and quickly begins to climb the corporate ladder. Life seems to be coming together at last, until Rob's obsession with replacing the thrill of flying with money and security leads to trouble with Suzy. Can he find a way to balance the two and find some sort of happiness for himself? Or will he be forced to make an impossible choice between love and success?
