I’ve been in this life for fifty years, been trying to work out its riddle for forty-two, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last thirty-five. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me. Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries.

Lazarus County has yet to be tamed. There’s drought, bandits, and natives to contend with. People have moved out there hoping to better themselves, have a chance at the kind of life they could never hope for back East. Of course plenty of the settlers are lonely and willing to take a chance on love, even with someone that they’ve never met. This boxed set includes She Has to Stop Running Sometime, Western Redemption, Western Freedom, and The Sheriff Needs a Bride.

Mackenzie Mueller doesn't take me seriously. She says I'm an alcoholic. I say I'm living in the moment. She says I need to be more serious. I say I tried that, and it broke my heart. She says I'm the best she ever had...I tend to agree. She says we're not good together. She's lying. After losing the love of my life before my 20th birthday, I was sure I'd never love again. I've spent the past five years living like it's my last day on earth. Girls, booze, and as much family time as possible filled my weeks. But mostly the booze.... Then, Mackenzie walked into my life and suddenly I have purpose again. But she's convinced I'm not in it for the long haul.

I’m Lincoln West. Single father extraordinaire to the coolest kid on the face of the earth, and I have parents who think the world of my son. I’m a family guy. At 22, I’ve embraced my fate as a lifetime member of the uncool single-dad club. Until I meet Wren. That’s when everything changes. Wren’s the beauty in my ugly days. She’s full of life and talent, and she’s the exact mother figure my son needs. It’s surprising because she’s the daughter of two very shitty people. Right when we think the world’s stopped pitting against us, her family proves us wrong.

I'm Vaughn Lair. You might have heard of my rock-star cousin, Jack. I'm on the radio for entirely different reasons. My voice may not cause women to swoon through music and lyrics...it's the content of my syndicated radio show that has them desperate to talk to me. I'm a sex therapist who doles out great advice. My doctorate gives me license to hold nothing back. My listeners have crowned me the King of Romance. I change relationships for the better. I'm the sexpert. Except when it comes to my own damn love life. Then one call on the air turns the tables on me.

Sam Stanton knows these simple facts: He is a great catch - successful, smart, gorgeous...but the wrong woman caught him. He has the perfect girl who is madly in love with him. He wasted six years of his life by playing it safe. He is damn good at his job and intends to keep climbing the ladder. He can't get her off his mind or out of his heart - no matter how hard he tries. Will he ever really move on and forget how badly she broke his heart?

When your best friend is also your boss, "great ideas" aren't always optional. After all, when you run the largest fashion, gossip, and trend blog in the country, you've got to take risks to keep it edgy. Believe me. This is edgy. The idea? For one week, date every male fantasy. The list? The Jock. The Rock Star. The Billionaire. The Stepbrother. See how they are all crossed off except one? That's because he's Satan. And Scottish. And my best friend's stepbrother.

He was the man of my dreams, or so I thought. I wasn't sure how I'd react when I saw him again. I planned on avoiding him, but our small hometown made that impossible. The years apart melted away when I saw him. Time hadn't changed my feelings, after all. Jealousy flared anew. My heart, which I thought had healed, was back to being in a million pieces. Now I'm right where I don't want to be - in front of him with tears in my eyes.

I've known one thing to be true all of my adult life. Millie is my girl. She’s been the sunshine on every cloudy day of mine since the day we met in the back of that truck in high school. People thought we were insane marrying so young. They said we’d never make it. Now, after 15 years, two kids, a successful career, and an incredibly blessed marriage I feel like I have the world at my fingertips. Until one day it’s all ripped away from me. I'll do anything to go back to the life we had. Now I’m in the hospital, day in and day out, talking to the shell of my wife, begging her to wake up.
