Hot on the Trail: Volume One
The first three books of the popular Hot on the Trail series are together here for the first time! Each book is a stand-alone that can be read without having read the others.
TRAIL OF KISSES - Someone is trying to kill Lynne Tremaine. After her father sentences two members of The Briscoe Boys gang to death, Judge Tremaine feels he has no choice but to send Lynne to Denver City along the Oregon Trail to live with her Uncle George…against her will. For Lynne, the only thing worse than being sent away to the wild west is making the journey with the handsome, arrogant, wicked man her uncle has hired to escort her. Especially when the anger she feels toward him begins to turn to something hotter.
Cade Lawson is determined to prove himself to his employer, George Tremaine, after letting him down months earlier. But what he thought would be his second chance may, in fact, be a harsh punishment for his past mistakes. Lynne is headstrong, fiery, and determined to show him she is fearless. She is also beautiful and tempting, and when Cade sees just how afraid she really is underneath her brave act, he may be in danger of losing his heart to her forever. When her would-be killer attacks, it’s all he can do to keep Lynne safe.
He swore to protect her, but who will protect him from her?
TRAIL OF HOPE - Callie Lewis is alone on the Oregon Trail. After her brother’s death, she has been left to fend for herself on a journey she never wanted to take. Her only hope for safety and a life at the end of the road is to become a trail bride and wed grieving widower John Rye. But John is harboring secrets that could end their hasty marriage before it has a chance to begin.
When a vicious tornado wakes John from the stupor the death of his wife left him in, he is ready to embrace Callie and the new life they could have together. But John is not the only one with designs on his new wife. Miles away from civilization, in a wagon train bristling with secrets and suspicion, John must catch a thief, fend off his rival, and reclaim his life to build the future Callie deserves.
In their darkest moments will they bring each other hope?
TRAIL OF LONGING - Emma Sutton fell in love with Dr. Dean Meyers on the very first day of their journey west on the Oregon Trail. Dean is handsome, caring, and noble. If only she could tell him! But between her crippling shyness and the marital machinations of her mother, she despairs of ever being able to say what’s in her heart. When a sudden injury puts her in Dean’s hands, literally and figuratively, she hopes she might just have a chance with him…until a ghost from Dean’s past comes between them.
Dean Meyers is determined to make the long journey west to start a new life and leave the horrors of the Civil War behind him. He is charmed by Emma and amused by her mother, and can finally see peace in his future. But when an old colleague shows up to turn his world upside down, it’s all Dean can do to keep love, hope, and Emma from slipping away. All seems lost until Emma finds herself in danger and Dean is given a chance to be a hero…if he can reach her in time.
Love will give her courage to find her voice and follow her heart….

Three of Merry Farmer’s Wild West reads in one volume.
Trail of Kisses
Lynne Tremaine’s father has put her on the wagon train for her safety, he’s sentenced members of the Briscoe Boys to death and he can’t risk her life. For extra security he’s thrown Cade Lawson as her bodyguard. He can’t mess up and this is his chance to prove he can do his job, so why does the tempting spitfire have him thinking that maybe there could be more to their attraction.
Lynne and Cade had enough heat to blaze a trail to Oregon! I loved the cat and mouse game they played. Merry does a superb job in the descriptive detail of the Oregon trail.
Trail of Hope
Callie Lewis has been dealt a devastating hand by fate, her brother and his family have perished from trail fever. Alone with no one to offer her protection she has to marry. John Rye a widower has plans of ending his lonely life, he can’t live without his dead wife and son and plans on joining them. Callie and John are given a second chance at new beginnings, will they take that chance they’re given before trouble and greed have a chance at destroying their new found love.
A touching story of redemption and new beginnings, two people who experienced loss but found each other.
Trail of Longing
Emma Sutton has fallen in love with the handsome Dr. Deann Meyers. The war has changed him and all he wants is a new beginning. His attraction to Emma is not something he wants to admit, but when she’s injured and his past comes knocking at his door he’ll do anything to keep her from turning away from him. Will he be the hero Emma needs?
Bonus - Haskell Christmas Reunion
Twenty five years since the treck along the Oregon was made and now the Tremaine’s and Rye are meeting in Wyoming for Christmas Lysandra and Emerald never anticipated a Christmas romance
Merry Farmer has a talent for writing hot heroes and the women who tame them. These stories will keep you entertained with a glimpse at life on the trail, descriptive detailing of the Wild West keep you turning the pages. Loved every second of this, I highly recommend.
I received a gifted copy from the author for my unbiased opinion.

I Wish Someone was Hot on My Trail!!!
Just so great to read and enjoy each story! The Christmas freebie at the end has me on the edge, just waiting to read about the romances and where they go, if at all. I will try to be patient, but I have myself ready to continue reading ASAP when the books are finished and for sale!
