The heart of a town. The fight for its soul.
Five years after settling in Silver Creek, Nate Cooper and Jack Calloway have built a life of love and quiet strength. Their bond is unshakable, their homestead thriving—and the town that once questioned them now calls them its own.
But when talk of a railroad expansion stirs in the east, a new threat emerges. A determined and ambitious council president pushes for progress at any cost, and a fractured school board puts Nate’s hard-won position at risk.
As corruption spreads and loyalties are tested, Nate must take a stand—not just for his role as schoolmaster, but for the values that define him and the future of Silver Creek itself. With Jack, Lillian, and a steadfast circle of allies by his side, he’ll confront corruption, defend their legacy, and prove that home is something worth fighting for.
Frontier Legacy is the powerful continuation of the Frontier Hearts Trilogy—a story of justice, enduring love, and what it means to fight for the place you call home.
1876, Kansas – In a town gripped by tradition and ruled by quiet prejudice, Nate Cooper arrives with his father and younger sister, carrying the weight of loss and the hope of a new beginning. A former schoolteacher with no desire to become a rancher, Nate is determined to build a future out of duty—and to overcome the tragedy that reshaped his world.
Then he meets Jack Calloway, a reserved ranch hand with a past as rugged as the land itself, and everything begins to shift. As their connection deepens, the walls of Silver Creek close in. Whispers turn to warnings. Glances become threats. And when love is deemed a danger to morality, both men must decide what they’re willing to risk to hold on to each other.
With lush prose, unforgettable characters, and the unrelenting beauty of the frontier as its backdrop, Frontier Kindred is a sweeping story of chosen family, quiet courage, and the fierce hope needed to build a future—and claim love—in a world that stands against them.
Andy Kramer has spent his life hiding—from his abusive father, from the truth about himself, and from the fear that he will never truly be free. Desperate for escape, he enlists in the Air Force, hoping for a fresh start. But military life comes with its own chains, forcing him to keep his identity a secret.
Through heartbreak, friendships, and forbidden love, Andy struggles to reconcile who he is with the life he’s been forced to live. But when he meets Jason McDermott, a fellow airman who sees him for who he truly is, he faces the greatest choice of all—stay in the shadows or risk everything for love and freedom.
Spanning over a decade, Unbound is a deeply emotional and gripping journey of self-discovery, resilience, and the courage to break free.
