Westerns

by Gerald Hartenhoff

A collection of western stories filled with action, adventure, and romance. The six titles included in this collection Rotten And Carla Johansen was rotten and ugly. At least that's what her stepmother had been telling her for the last five years. Every. Single. Day. Well not quite, but it sure seemed like it to Carla. If her father Albert wasn't around, his wife Linda was certain to slip in a hurtful remark. It took the death of Mr. Johansen to light the stick of dynamite that was about to go off. *** As You When William Banning went to stay with his uncle, he was told to stay out of trouble. That's hard to do when a beautiful woman is in need of help. *** The only thing Bennett wanted to do was deliver the stallion and get the rest of his money. If it were only that simple. The man who bought the horse from him is dead, and now he must deal with his beautiful daughter, who has bigger things to worry about besides not having the money to pay him. People are trying to take her ranch away. Lucky for her, Bennett showed up just in time. *** Follow Gary Barten and his dog Michael, as they pursue the brutal men who have kidnapped his daughter. *** There Will Be No With her marriage to Doyle Stone less than twenty-four hours away, Olive Boyd has to follow her instincts and let him go. After having witnessed his dark side, the last thing Olive wants is to spend the rest of her days with this man, but Doyle isn't about to let her walk away that easily. Knowing that leaving him will result in dire consequences, Olive seeks refuge with the one man her mother claims can keep her safe, Zeke Whitmore. Unfortunately for Olive, Zeke Whitmore is not the vibrant and healthy man her mother remembers him to be. His health is failing fast. When Doyle's men track Olive down, Zeke must gather what little strength he has left to protect her, but will it be enough to thwart the determination of a sadistic madman bent on getting Olive back by any means necessary? *** You Never Owed Nancy McQuay is days away from giving birth when her husband's men catch up to her in Yankton, South Dakota. When Carolyn Lind and her mother Anne Adams see the young girl being abducted, they try to help, and are rewarded with brutality. Grady Lind left his old life behind when he married Carolyn and had a daughter. He's been able to avoid violence for sometime now, and he has never been happier. Unfortunately for Grady, his wife asks him to help the young Nancy McQuay, and he reluctantly agrees. Hopefully that won't be a decision he soon regrets.

This is a bunch of short story Westerns. They are all good and all different. I'd rather read a Western than eat when I'm hungry but that's just me. I find them very interesting. Try them I think you'll like reading them.
