Leaving Whiskey Bend

Bestselling author Dorothy Garlock returns with a brilliant new novel about three daring women who set out to find a better life for themselves in the Wild West.

The 19th century is rapidly drawing to a close and the American West, for all its promise of wealth and opportunity, remains a gun-toting, hard-drinking man’s world. And the small town of Whiskey Bend, Colorado, is no different. So when two friends, Hallie, a young schoolteacher, and Pearl, a spinster, witness their friend Mary being assaulted in the street, they decide they’ve had enough. After boldly rescuing Mary, the three women high-tail it out of town in an open wagon, in search of a new life and safety. It is a journey that will take them to the very edge of hopelessness, as they are pursued by Mary’s assailant, face violent storms, and cross roiling rivers. They will also meet good men, like the kind and handsome rancher who offers them shelter despite having troubles of his own. And perhaps for Hallie, he will open the door to the kind of life she’s been searching for all along.

Will You Still Be Mine?

One of the world’s most beloved novelists, New York Times bestselling author Dorothy Garlock is the author of over fifty books that celebrate the indomitable American spirit. Here, in one volume for the very first time, are the novels that tell the story of two of her most memorable lovers.

With Heart - In the midst of the Great Depression, Kathleen Dolan is en route to a new life at the Rawlings Gazette in Oklahoma. But even before she arrives, trouble strikes. Hijackers try to steal her car, and she discovers that Rawlings is steeped in dirty secrets. Johnny Henry, a handsome rancher, had come to her rescue on the road. Can he now protect this feisty journalist from the powerful man who will stop at nothing to silence her?

After the Parade - The Second World War is over, and Johnny Henry is coming home from the Pacific—but not to the arms of his wife, Kathleen. Misunderstanding and tragedy had separated them before he shipped out, and pride and pain still keep them apart. But when a stalker plunges Kathleen into a real-life nightmare, her only hope will be Johnny…and the love that can bring them through every battle, especially the ones in their hearts.

On Tall Pine Lake

"Garlock's 50th novel is a delightful treasure set in seemingly tranquil Home, Ark., in 1980. Nona Conrad has moved her 14-year-old sister, Maggie, and her friend Mabel Rogers to Tall Pine Lake to spend the summer managing an isolated lakeside fishing camp. But as soon as sexy Simon Wright arrives and announces he's purchased the run-down camp, the sleepy outpost becomes a hotbed of thievery, kidnapping and murder. Chicago-based thugs Frank and Webb descend on the camp to retrieve a mysterious package that Nona's wayward brother mailed to her, bringing with them an overdose of violent mayhem. The husband of pregnant camper LeAnn Leasure ends up dead in the lake, two characters are kidnapped (separately), beatings are rampant and two other characters take a dirt-nap as the narrative builds to an edge-of-your-easy-chair thriller that romantic suspense junkies will not want to pass up."
