Vivian Vaughan is the only author of this trio that I've read before.
For the Sake of Love (Rosanne Bittner)
Sandra Brooks, a widowed schoolteacher, hates Indians because of the vicious way they killed her husband. Living on the ranch of one of her students, her son becomes enamored with a half-breed broncho buster working there. Even though Sandra discourages the friendship growing between the two, she is powerless to stop it.
When a group of desperate robbers swoop down to steal females (to sell in Mexico), things change between the couple.
An Impetuous Season (Denise Domning)
Verity Sandiford, a fallen British lady, travels to America (Kansas) to visit her brother. Looking at herself as a spinster because of her fall from society, Verity doesn't expect to ever marry or have children... and then she meets her new sister-in-law's uncle.
A Wish to Build a Dream On (Vivian Vaughan)
This short story has many similar elements to Candace Camp's TUMBLEWEED CHRISTMAS (which I've recently read). Widow Andie Duschane, trying to save her farm for her son, agrees to take a job as cook for a cattle drive. When she arrives, Reece Catlin (leader of the cattle drive) is horrified to find that his new cook is a woman.
Other than the second story, I've read short stories similar to these. They are pleasant, light reading.
