Tuesday Thoughts

A lighthearted tale that will make you smile & let you believe that dreams really do come true.

Abigail Apple is running late to meet her blind date when she’s pulled over for speeding. Unfortunately, the follow-the-rules cop doesn’t care that she’s late, let alone that she’s heartbroken because her favorite dog rescue is in danger of being closed. Now she has to meet her date with mud drying on her heels, dog hair covering her dress, and the smell of a barn perfuming her hair. When she arrives, however, Abigail learns her handsome blind date is none other than the cop who pulled her over.

Abigail has no intention of staying until she learns Cooper Hill is heading a committee for the city that will award a six-figure donation to a charity of their choice. So, what’s a girl to do? Abigail decides a second date is the perfect way to convince Cooper to vote for the dog rescue. Soon, however, Abigail is less interested in Cooper’s vote than she is in his deep voice, kind heart, and tender touch.

Will this follow-the-rules cop and this follows-her-heart animal lover learn that despite poor first impressions, second chances can lead to love?

My name is Braden Sterling. It’s my turn to tell you the tale of our journey from a tiny town in Kansas to Elko, Nevada, and The Ranch.

For hundreds of years, there have been rumors of a mysterious family that once dominated England. Some say that the Langfords were the power behind the thrones of some of the country’s greatest monarchs. But if they really existed, what was their secret? And why did they suddenly vanish?

Setting out to track down her long-lost family, Chrissy Langford has no idea that she’s about to be plunged into a nightmare. Far out in the English countryside, Langford Hall stands remote and ignored, yet four Langfords still live there. These four survivors guard many secrets, but how will they react when they discover that another member of their family is coming to find them?

The Curse of the Langfords is a horror story about a hidden dynasty, a tragic curse, and a family doomed by the strength of its own blood.

A ruthless rancher. A desperate runaway. A gunfighter torn between justice and love.

In Trail of the Lone Rider, Nash rides north from Abilene with his pockets full of hard-earned cash and his mind set on finding peace along the open trail. But when he encounters Luke, a young runaway fleeing the powerful rancher Calder, Nash is pulled into a deadly battle for control over the frontier town of Red Bluff.

Calder’s grip on the town is ironclad, with a corrupt sheriff, a gang of thugs, and a trail of fear left behind. Nash’s plan to keep to himself is shattered as he befriends Emily, a fierce landowner whose family has been fighting Calder for years. Together, they set out to protect Red Bluff from Calder’s ruthless expansion — while Nash tries to protect his heart from the growing connection between him and Emily.

As Nash teaches Luke and the townsfolk how to fight back, he realizes that justice has become more than a solitary pursuit. With every move, he’s drawn deeper into a web of loyalty, courage, and the kind of love he never expected to find. But Calder won’t give up easily, and Nash must decide whether to stay and fight or ride away once again.
