Hi Ruth!
So happy you loved the first three American Wilderness books. The next three can be bought individually, although it costs less to buy the set. Here they are:
FRONTIER HIGHLANDER VOW OF LOVE 2.99
FRONTIER GIFT OF LOVE ,99
THE BEAUTY OF LOVE 2,99
All fifteen of my books are available at www.amazon.com/author/dorothywiley
Sometimes you have to scroll down to find the title you want because Amazon mixes sponsored ads by the other authors in with my books.
Let me know if you have any problems.

Dorothy Wiley Thanks for accepting! Take a look at my website dorothywiley.com when you get a chance. I'm still developing the website and finishing up my second book's manuscript. When I have the second finished , I plan to publish both books about mid August.


Lisa Kay Thanks for the friend-invite, Dorothy!
