Joan Johnston's beloved Whitelaw boys have been branding hearts for over a decade. Celebrate the return of Hawk's Way's sexiest cowboys with these classic tales.

THE COWBOY AND THE PRINCESS
Faron Whitelaw had some nerve calling Belinda Prescott a princess. A nearly bankrupt ranch was hardly a castle, and Faron, an ill-tempered cowboy who'd inherited half her kingdom, was certainly no prince. Faron became spitting mad when Belinda informed him about the truth of his parentage: he wasn't one of the Whitelaws of Texas. He wanted to believe that she was nothing more than a gold digger, but all she seemed to want was him . . .
THE WRANGLER AND THE RICH GIRL
Garth Whitelaw couldn't understand why a rich Texas debutante like Candy Baylor would want to train horses. But she looked darn sexy in worn jeans and with hay in her hair, so who was he to judge? Candy had no idea why Garth was suddenly so agreeable, but she wasn't about to look a gift horse in the mouth. Besides,her instructors in school had never been so ruggedly handsome as this wrangler . . . and she wouldn't mind engaging in some horseplay!

A true master of Western romance, Joan Johnston has lassoed readers with her delightful Hawk's Way series. Now three best-loved favorites from the popular family saga -- The Unforgiving Bride, The Headstrong Bride and The Disobedient Bride -- are available in this limited edition hardcover.

She's unforgiving, headstrong and disobedient . . . she's a Whitelaw bride!
These three ladies of Hawk's Way are about to come face-to-face with something as rare as a friendly armadillo: three Texan men who are their equals! Watch the sparks fly -- and love unite -- at these unforgettable Whitelaw weddings!
Falcon Whitelaw offered his services -- as husband and stand-in father to a damsel in distress and her darling daughter. The Unforgiving Bride was skittish about love, but this Whitelaw man could be very convincing . . .
Callen Whitelaw had one surefire way to soften up a rugged rancher out for revenge against her beloved clan. The Headstrong Bride would marry him!
Zach Whitelaw chose his convenient wife for one reason only -- to provide him with a brood of little Whitelaws. But no matter how many long, lazy days they spent in their marriage bed, The Disobedient Bride refused to get pregnant!
Add to that the three Whitelaw boys who show up with shotguns in tow to make sure their sister's an honest woman, and there's really nothing left to say except "I do."

Return to Texas in Joan Johnston's
beloved Hawk's Way series.
Tate Whitelaw has had enough of her brothers' constant interference in her life. So she decides to split from the ranch she's called home for all of her twenty-three years. Tate does what any young, red-blooded American girl would do—she runs straight into the arms of hardened rancher Adam Phillips.
Adam's in no mood to rescue a damsel in distress, but his heart has other ideas. Tate has no clue that her estranged brother, Jesse, is as close as the neighboring spread...and Adam has no intention of telling her. He didn't go looking for Tate, but he can't imagine letting her go now. But when she meets Jesse's wife and discovers that Jesse is the ranch hand next door, Adam has some explaining ahead of him.
Add to that the three Whitelaw boys who show up with shotguns in tow to make sure their sister's an honest woman, and there's really nothing left to say except "I do."

New York Times bestselling author Joan Johnston returns to the drama, passion, and intrigue of Bitter Creek, to reveal who will vow to love and honor powerful Texas ranching scion, Clay Blackthorne.
A lavish summer wedding is being planned at Bitter Creek ranch. In one month, Clay Blackthorne will wed socialite Jocelyn Montrose. But when she hears stirrings of a corporate takeover by the family's archrival, North Grayhawk, Jocelyn covertly heads to North's ranch to offer a valuable commodity-herself-if North will call off his plans. Striking a deal to spend the summer with the steely, seductive North, Jocelyn fails to see that her sacrifice to protect the man she loves may have dire consequences.
Stunned by his fiancée's rejection, Clay, a newly appointed federal judge, begins presiding over an incendiary terrorism trial, which brings him face to face with his first love, Libby Grayhawk. As tensions mount, forces beyond Clay's control threaten the women most precious to him in the past and the present. And only in a daring act of sacrifice will he know which woman will become the next Mrs. Blackthorne.

NO LONGER A STRANGER

New York Times bestselling author Joan Johnston sweeps readers back to the untamed American West in a tale of powerful emotions and breathtaking action.
1865: The Civil War was over, but new dangers lay in wait across the open frontier. Disguised as a boy in buckskins, pretty Rebecca Hunter wasn't afraid of any enemy who might cross her path in the Rocky Mountains. She vowed never to belong to any man...until she met city-bred Christopher Kincaid, the stranger she rescued from a fierce band of Sioux. All too quickly she learned how powerful an attraction can be between a man and a woman.
No Indian ambush could scar Kincaid as deeply as the tragic loss and broken heart he suffered in the war. Now, being nursed back to health by Reb in an isolated mountain cabin, he found himself coming alive with a powerful desire for her. But how could he know that his mission for the government would jeopardize his chances of winning Reb's heart, bring down the wrath of a renegade Sioux chief, and test the lengths he'd be willing to go to convince this passionate woman to stay beside him for all time?
