  The young Dr. Thomas Parks expects to practice trauma medicine with a distinguished doctor in Port McKinney, Washington. What he does not expect is to be nearly killed within an hour of arriving. The accident changes his life, and with long hours of painful convalescence, Thomas makes a sobering discovery: the physician who has invited Thomas to join his practice is not what he seems. At the center of the conflict is mail-order diagnosis, which flourished until the U.S. mail fraud statutes of 1908. In its landmark report of 1910, the American Medical Association reported that several physicians had organizations that recorded more than 3,000 postal responses per month, a large percentage of which included money for worthless medicine. Steven F. Havill departs from his well-received mystery series to bring readers this fascinating historical novel.

  Heaven comes to a marriage made in hell in this Regency romance from the New York Times–bestselling author of the Hamish Macbeth mysteries.

And she refused to admit that his frequent overnight absences were of any significance. The sting came when it was revealed that Lucy’s parents had “bought” her husband for her.  
   
  And then one night at a ball, Lucy met the charismatic Duke of Habard and suddenly anything seemed possible . . .

  One Man And . . .  
   
   
   
  No one remembered when he'd come to the mountains—it seemed that Preacher had always been there. He'd seen a great deal in the unmapped mountains and forests of the grand North American frontier. In fact, he'd just told a friend that he wasn't surprosed by anything anymore. But Preacher hadn't seen Nova Roma yet . . . 
   
   
   
   . . . A Deadly Dream of Glory 
   
   
   
  Suddenly, Preacher is faced with the strangest, most dangerous army the High Lonesome has ever seen. It's leader is a blood-mad fanatic right out of the ancient history books. All Preacher's got on his side are his brother mountain men: tough as hardtack good old boys like Philadelphia Braddock and Frenchie Dupree; the Arapaho warrior Bold Pony; and his surefire Walker Colt . . .
