"That Barlow Woman" by Valerie Kirkwood. Boston-bred Eleanor Barlow has taken a job as head of the J. Bond department store in Louisville, Kentucky. Scarred physically and emotionally by an accident and her fiance's subsequent desertion, Eleanor's life is now in retail. Her main competition is Kit McCarron, a man with no interest in the chains of business. Until he meets his match in Eleanor, Kit traveled the world, always searching for something more. Very strong characterizations make this story of love and competition fulfilling.
"The Bride and the Brute" by Laurell O'Donnell. Lord Reese Harrington's sister is kidnapped by Jayce Cullen's father to force Reese to marry Jayce. After the wedding, Jayce's father dies. Reese had sworn to marry only for love and pushed Jayce away, even allowing his newly returned brother to insult her in front of his people. Reese must learn how to accept as well as give protection and love. Responsibility had been thrust upon him at an early age.

"A Bride for Gideon" by Patricia Werner. Lou Farland was a rider for pony express, having pretended to be a boy until her skill was shown. Doing a man's job, Lou wears men's clothing all the time. She never expects visiting U. S. Deputy Marshall Gideon Preston to give her a second look. A good short story that deserved a longer format.
