Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the death of her father in 1885, twenty-two-year-old Kate Bradford finds herself alone and lonely in Charleston, South Carolina. She's had some success teaching piano to make ends meet. Even so, life is a struggle. It grows worse when her repugnant landlord, Homer Barnes, makes unwelcome advances toward her. Kate is desperate for change. She answers an intriguing advertisement, which launches her on a journey of a lifetime aboard the transcontinental railroad. The great Iron Horse carries her across the country to a whole new world, to a shining city on a hill, a city far away from Homer Barnes: San Francisco. Jonathan Kelly has become bitter and aloof. The recent and senseless death of his young wife, Sarah, haunts him. He lives with his family at Silverado, a ranch and winery in Napa Valley, California, where he focuses on hard work and the raising of his son, Christian. The ranch is his respite—his lifeline—and he treasures it. Jonathan is introduced to Kate in San Francisco and is taken by her stunning beauty and infectious Southern charm. Beguiled, he resents her involvement with his good friend and partner, Franklin Jones, a much older and very wealthy businessman. When unforeseen circumstances propel Kate to Napa Valley, Jonathan is baffled. How could his family members be so accepting of her? Couldn't they see her for what she was? Mysterious events soon place her in danger, and Jonathan's routine is thrown into turmoil, threatening the tranquility of his beloved home, Silverado.

Book excerpt: U.S. Secret Service Agent H. Hunter Mahoy has been given a dream assignment by President James Weber. He's training in the military's newest and most sophisticated short-takeoff and vertical landing fighter jet, an F-35-B Lightning. His wife, Morgan, drops him at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas on the morning of his fifth day. That afternoon, he and the ninety-million-dollar aircraft mysteriously disappear while flying through a slot in a mountain range. The search is on to find a crash site. Locating the wreckage should be easy: Major Brian Connolly, Hunter's flight instructor, witnessed the incident. And it occurred in broad daylight. Even so, nothing can be found. Hunter Mahoy is at a loss to understand why he can't raise Major Connolly--or anyone else--on the radio. Then things get worse. Most of his instrumentation isn't working: he has no navigation system, no GPS coordinates, no radar, no communications, and no digital compass. He recognizes several landmarks but can't find Las Vegas or Nellis Air Force Base. It's weird. He ends up landing in the desert on the backside of Mount Davidson, outside Virginia City, Nevada. He hikes to where he has a commanding view of the western town. With just one look, he instantly knows that he has a serious problem: somehow, he's traveled back in time to the mining days of the Comstock lode in the mid-to-late 1800s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I have always wanted,” he said, “to find a wild piece of desert and turn it into an oasis.” Anthea and Roy McLean prospered as working professionals for years—but that life didn’t quite feel right. One day, when they were taking care of their animals on their acreage in South Surrey, they realized they wanted to do that more than live their lives in the city. After many hours debating the logistics of purchasing and running a farm, they took the plunge: they were going to create their own Eden. Stories of Silverado Ranch follows the true stories of the McLeans’ setbacks and successes in turning a patch of wilderness into their homestead. From building their own house using materials found on their land to growing their own food, the road to fulfilling their dream was far from easy. They even found their own families crushing their spirits, displeased with the lifestyle they had chosen. But no matter how daunting the path to their pocket of paradise seemed, they found happiness in surmounting these difficulties, becoming part of a small but loving community. At Silverado Ranch, Anthea McLean shows us that there is no goal too big to accomplish, no obstacle too big to overcome, no matter what phase of life you’re in.
