The Sheriff Of Heartbreak County

"Small-town sheriff Roan Harley arrested plain-as-all-get-out Mary Yancy because he couldn't afford not to. She'd had motive, means and opportunity to kill the son of a senator--plus a gun. And yet ... Clearly, Mary had something to hide--those shapeless clothes covered a knockout figure; damned if her dirt brown hair wasn't the result of a botched dye job; and her name just didn't check out. Not to mention her lovely eyes couldn't disguise the fact that she was not only innocent, but in dire need of protection. His protection?"--Publisher's description.

From a New York Times–bestselling author, a single mother is arrested for murder by the cop she was once in love with in this romantic suspense novel. Single mom Sarah Connelly can’t believe it when her ex-boyfriend arrests her. Sheriff Patrick “Finn” Finnegan keeps assuring Sarah he’ll get her out of trouble, but her trust in him was annihilated long ago. Still, just being in his larger-than-life presence sets Sarah’s pulse racing. . . . Finn knows in his heart Sarah is innocent of murdering smalltown bad-girl Teresa Donovan. But he can’t ignore the overwhelming evidence against Sarah—nor the desire he still feels for her. Somehow he’s got to find the real killer and convince the only woman he’ll ever love to give him a second chance.

Game of Dreams and Heartbreak, no pun intended, is certainly not a hit-or-miss piece of work by C.P. Ryan. With his endearing storytelling style, the author whisks readers into Corningville where young Jon Breck, averaging at 90 mph, is about to be drafted for the Major League and go professional the summer after his high school graduation. As Corningville’s golden boy, Jon, at the age of nine, already struck everyone out, older kids included. With his talent and good character, Jon’s bright future is already written in the stars and solidly carved in stone. With the Major League Draft four days away, the six-foot-five, 210-pound pitcher is projected to be in the top ten picks. Yet, it looks like a tragic event hovers nearby and abruptly veers off to an unfortunate twist of fate.

The story of Harriet Smith Pullen’s early life, from her childhood journeys by covered wagon to her family’s subsistence in sod houses on the Dakota prairie where they survived grasshopper plagues, floods, fires, blizzards, and droughts is a narrative of American migration and adventure that still resonates today. But there is much more to the legendary woman’s life, revealed here for the first time by Eleanor Phillips Brackbill, her great-granddaughter, who has traveled the path of her ancestor, delving into unpublished material, as well as sharing family stories in this American story that will capture the imagination of a new generation. After migrating by emigrant train to Washington Territory, Harriet endured typhoid fever and a shipwreck, then homesteaded among the Quileute people on the coast of Washington, where she married Dan Pullen, with whom she was an equal partner in ranching and managing an Indian fur-trading post before a life-changing series of events caused her to strike out for the north. In 1897, she landed in Skagway, Alaska, broke and alone after leaving her husband and four children in Washington, determined to make a fresh start and to reunite with her sons and daughter. Newly independent and empowered, she became an entrepreneur, single-handedly hauling prospectors’ provisions into the mountains where gold beckoned and then starting the Pullen House, an acclaimed hotel. Later in life, Harriet would entertain her guests with fabulous stories about the gold rush and her renowned collection of Alaskan Native artifacts and gold rush relics. She achieved near-legendary status in Alaska during her lifetime and The Queen of Heartbreak Trail brings to life moments that are well known and moments that have never before been published—her arrest for holding a claim jumper at gunpoint, her grueling courtroom testimony defending herself against the spurious accusations of a malevolent employer, and, how, in her father’s words, she “turned out” her husband of twenty years.
