Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bunkhouse at Elkhead Creek is a reminiscence of life in the country. Now, most would surmise that life in an unpopulated area of Colorado, consisting of two residents per square mile, should be uncomplicated; however, when external issues impact ones life, cowboys react. The first rule of the cowboy is to protect that which belongs to the cowboy. So, when an action taken by a government agency thirty years prior threatens his home, the protective hormones surface. After about ten years of cussin and discussin, this threat is no more resolved when another government-induced threat is laid at his doorstep. This threat results in another two years of cussin and discussin before it is resolved. During this period of turmoil, it is suggested that the author take the retirement of a local county commissioner as an opportunity to run for public office. Unfortunately, he makes the wrong decision, and during his period in office, the country goes into a national economic slow down. This downturn eventually impacts the countys expenditures and services are reduced. These cuts are very unpopular with certain segments of the community. As Rudy Giuliani, the former Mayor of New York, once said, When you confront a problem, you begin to solve it. As the author works through all of these unexpected problems, like a mystery novel, he learns that everything is not as it seems. When he digs into these issues, he discovers many misrepresentations. Warren Buffet, the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, is quoted, Only when the tide goes out do you discover whos been swimming naked. Is it possible that Mayor Giuliani and Warren Buffet are cowboys? The serenity of life at the bunkhouse is a cherished but fragile giftinsert the first rule of the cowboy here.

This book was released on 2016-08-05 with total page 1059 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection bundles all 3 volumes of Susan May Warren’s popular Noble Legacy series together in one e-book, for a great value! #1 Reclaiming Nick Nick Noble hadn't planned on being the prodigal son. But when his father dies and leaves half of Silver Buckle—the Noble family ranch—to Nick's former best friend, he must return home to face his mistakes, and guarantee that the Silver Buckle stays in the Noble family. Award-winning journalist Piper Sullivan believes Nick framed her brother for murder, and she's determined to find justice. But following Nick to the Silver Buckle and posing as a ranch cook proves more challenging than she thinks. So does resisting his charming smile. As Nick seeks to overturn his father's will—and Piper digs for answers—family secrets surface that send Nick's life into a tailspin. But there's someone who's out to take the Silver Buckle from the Noble family, and he'll stop at nothing—even murder—to make it happen. #2 Taming Rafe Hotel heiress Katherine Breckenridge just wants to make a lasting difference in her world by running her late mother's charity foundation. But she fears she lacks the passion and courage to be as successful as her mother was—a fear that's realized when money from the foundation goes missing and Katherine's one shot to recover it is ruined by Rafe Noble. Two-time world champion bull rider Rafe Noble is at the top of his game when tragedy hits. Guilt stricken over the loss of his best friend, Rafe accidentally drives his truck into the lobby of the Breckenridge Hotel during Katherine's fund-raiser. With a broken knee, a ruined reputation, and the threat of several lawsuits, Rafe goes back to his family's ranch—the Silver Buckle—to recover. Desperate to save the foundation, Katherine heads to the Silver Buckle to talk Rafe into helping her raise the needed funds. But a few days under the bright Montana skies give her more than she bargained for, and Kat discovers there's more to both herself and Rafe Noble than she realized. #3 Finding Stefanie Everyone around Stefanie Noble is content, but it seems that her “happily ever after” has passed her by. Then two troubled girls and their older brother, Gideon, show up in town and clearly need help. Could they bring the fulfillment that Stefanie has been searching for? Hollywood hotshot Lincoln Cash has made a life playing the role of an action hero, basking in the laurels of his fame, fortune, and adoring fans. But when he's diagnosed with a debilitating disease, he knows that life will soon be over. He only has a small window of time to start a new career, one that will earn him legitimate filmmaker kudos. He soon heads to Phillips, Montana, to put his plan into action. Not everyone is pleased with the movie star's arrival, especially not Stefanie Noble. She's even less enamored when he accuses Gideon of arson and tries to run him out of town. But what Lincoln and Stefanie don't know is that neither the fire nor the other strange things that have happened around town are really accidents. Someone is out to get them . . . but who? And who is the real target?
