Linda Lael Miller's Stone Creek Novels
A Timeline

THE MAN FROM STONE CREEK (June 2006)
  • A sweeping novel of adventure as two people determined never to love find that sometimes it's worth the risk...
    There's trouble in Haven, Arizona, and Ranger Sam O'Ballivan is determined to sort it all out. Badge and gun hidden, he arrives posing as the new schoolteacher, and his first order of business is to bring the rough rancher's children under control. To that end, he calls on Maddie Chancelor, the local postmistress, whose younger brother is in firm need of discipline.

    Sam isn't sure what to expect-but it's definitely not this graceful woman whose prim, proper stance is so at odds with the fire in her eyes. Working undercover to capture a dangerous band of rustlers and train robbers is a job that has always kept him apart from other people. He is a man with his heart firmly in check-until Maddie. Now she is unwittingly tempting him down a path he swore he'd never travel.


A WANTED MAN (July 2007)
  • The sweeping tale of two people running from dangerous secrets-and the love that can set them free.
    When Rowdy Rhodes stepped onto the pages of Linda Lael Miller's 2006 hardcover The Man from Stone Creek, she knew the former train robber would demand his own story. So now Linda takes her readers back to the Arizona Territory to tell the sweeping tale of two people running from dangerous secrets-and the love that can set them free.

    The past has a way of catching up with folks in Stone Creek. So schoolmarm Lark Morgan and Marshal Rowdy Rhodes are determined to hide their secrets-and deny their instant attraction. That shouldn't be too hard, since each suspects the other of living a lie. Her too-fancy clothes and big-city ways inspire gossip all over town; his blond good looks and impudent grin belong to a man sporting a gunfighter's coat.

    But Rowdy and Lark have one truth in common: the very real dangers they face. Like the gang of robbers wreaking havoc on the railroad heading toward Stone Creek-the men Ranger Sam O'Ballivan expects Rowdy to nab. And as past and current troubles collide, Rowdy and Lark must surrender their stubborn pride to the greatest power of all-an undying love.
