Five women came west searching for a new beginning. In wild and rough-edged Sawyerville, Oregon, they may find something far more precious—a place to belong and a love worth fighting for.
The brides of Sawyerville have crossed a continent to escape hard lives and uncertain futures. But the frontier has challenges of its own: stubborn loggers who insist they do not need women, dangerous work in the forests and rivers, threatened reputations, old wounds, and hearts that have forgotten how to hope.
In Winter Turns to Spring, gentle Eulalie Allen nurses an injured older logger back to health—only to discover that Bert Walters came to Sawyerville believing he was worth more dead than alive. As affection grows between them, Eulalie must also face the devastating possibility of losing her reputation for the second time.
In Early Dawn's Light, Nora Darke finds herself drawn to Benjamin amid the growing pains of a frontier town where brides and loggers are still learning how to live together—and where jealousy and misunderstanding threaten a promising love before it can begin.
In Twilight's Last Gleaming, Susannah Hartsfield falls for daring high climber and horseman Bill Becker. Their courtship unfolds against Sawyerville's Fourth of July festivities, dangerous contests, a troublesome rival, and the uncertain future of a man whose dreams may extend far beyond logging. Their journey leads to a candlelit frontier wedding beneath the evening sky.
In Rocket's Red Glare, independent Ruby Swanson has little interest in changing herself merely to attract a husband. Then she meets calm, capable high climber Farley Robinson. Amid dynamite, frontier celebrations, and unexpected danger, Ruby begins to wonder whether making her own way might someday include making a home with someone else. Ruby's character is introduced as a woman who believes she may not need a husband at all and is content to make her own life in Sawyerville.
And in Wildflower Meadow, spirited Murielle Scallan dreams of becoming Sawyerville's schoolteacher—not merely someone's bride. After logger Charlie Chase saves her from deadly runaway timber on the Umpqua River, friendship deepens into something neither expected. But when Murielle considers leaving because the town's school may be years away, Charlie must give her a reason to stay.
