The Trail Drive Series is a duology about love on the trail of Weston Jordan's cattle drive. These tales tell of the dangers, drama and excitement of the wild west, and the cowboys that tamed it.
The Ways of the West ~ Jessica Walsh never wanted to go West.
Boston was safe. Civilised. A place where rules mattered and survival wasn't something you had to fight for every day. The West teaches her otherwise.
When a brutal attack on the wagon train leaves Jessica orphaned and stranded, she learns that out here, wanting doesn't matter. Only endurance does.
Her only chance lies with Johnny Truman — a dust-covered cowboy who makes it clear he will do whatever it takes to keep her alive... whether she agrees with his methods or not.
When Johnny's supplies run dangerously low, they join a cattle drive heading north. To Johnny, it's work and hope. To Jessica, it's lawless men, constant danger, and a life where obedience may be the difference between living and dying.
A cattle drive is no place for a stubborn city girl, and the ways of the West are harsher than anything she's ever known. If Jessica wants to survive, she must learn to trust Johnny's protection — and accept the discipline that comes with it.
As danger closes in and desire burns hotter with every mile, Jessica must decide whether she's willing to surrender to the dusty cowboy who claims not just her obedience... but her heart.
The Code of the West ~ After being attacked by the violent man her brother wants her to marry, Jedda-Lyn Cross knows she has to escape. But options are limited in the small western town where she lives – her attacker’s family is rich and the sheriff is corrupt, and helping her is a risk nobody will take. If she wants her freedom, she’s going to have to find it herself.
She flees in the middle of the night, penniless, and without a horse, disguised as a boy, planning to hire on with the north-bound cattle drive, led by the famous trail boss Wes Jordan. When her disguise is blown, instead of sending her away, the handsome trail boss vows to protect her. This is easier said than done, though, because Jedda-Lyn is sassy, headstrong and stubborn, with a reckless disregard for her personal safety that finally pushes Wes too far. After a painful punishment that leaves her bottom burning and her mind whirling, the attraction between them is undeniable, and Jedda wants nothing more than to stay in the arms of the handsome cowboy.
But her relentless former suitor won’t let her go without a fight. With danger closing in, it will take all the men and guns of the cattle drive outfit to protect her, and give her a chance at true love. And even then, it may not be enough.
Their Accidental Bride ~ A runaway bride. Two irresistible cowboys. One scandalous arrangement. Zero regrets.
I never planned on marrying two men.
But when my worthless brother gambled away everything we owned, I had no choice—sell myself to a cold-hearted stranger to cover his debts, or flee west as a mail-order bride. I chose escape. A fresh start. Freedom.
What I got was lost. Stranded. Until two rugged cowboys found me and claimed me like they’d been waiting their whole lives.
Shane is quiet, strong, and steady. His touch is firm, his hands possessive. Roscoe is cocky, wild, and wicked. He kisses like sin and takes what he wants. Together, they make me tremble. Burn. Beg.
They don’t just want to protect me. They want to share me. Teach me. Own every part of me—body and soul. They teach me what it means to be theirs, in every way.
But the past I thought I left behind is catching up fast. And if it finds me, I could lose everything. Including the two men who’ve set my heart—and my body—on fire.

As Jeannie fights to save Danny, a bond forms between them, and that bonds only grows stronger as Jeannie nurses him back to health.
Back at her family’s ranch, Jeannie and Danny grow closer, but their happiness is threatened when the Mullins gang seeks revenge. Danny’s reputation is fearsome. But will his quick draw be enough to protect the woman he loves?
