I was pleased when Sourcebooks decided to re-release the first five books in The Night Riders Series. That meant that all the books in that series would be available again. Now they've decided to re-release the Seven Brides - but with a twist.
The new books are being marketed toward a new audience, the male western reader. As a consequence, though the content of the books will be the same as the original series, the books will now have new covers and NEW NAMES. Rose will become A RESOLUTE MAN. Fern will become A DAUNTLESS MAN. Iris will become A DEFIANT MAN, Laurel A FEARLESS MAN, and Daisy A STEADFAST MAN. The covers of the last two, Violet and Lily, have yet to be competed.
Though the copyright page states that A RESOLUTE MAN was first published as ROSE, I want to make sure readers know these are not new books, only new names. I am retired. My last book, FOREVER AND ALWAYS, came out in 2015. There will be reprints of other books in the future, but there will be no more new books.

The Randolph brothers are known far and wide as a wild, unruly bunch. Carving an empire out of the rugged Texas land, fighting off rustlers, and going toe-to-toe with anyone who dares to cross there path, they're unwilling to change their ways . . . until oldest brother George Randolph says enough's enough. Laying down the law, George looks to bring his rowdy brothers in line and his ranch in order if he can find someone strong enough to help him yank it all back from the brink.
Enter Rose Thornton. Penniless and desperate, Rose will do just about anything to keep going. But the Randolph boys are more than a handful, and it's going to take every bit of grit she can muster to help George tame this frontier. It's going to take even more to convince them both that their convenient arrangement can be worth the fight, and that with Rose, George can be strong enough to face whatever comes his way.

A Defiant Man
(formerly known as - Seven Brides: Iris)
All it takes is one DEFIANT man
Monty Randolph has always bristled under his eldest brother's tight rein. He's his own man, and he's determined to prove it-and himself-whatever the cost. Getting out of Texas has always been the plan, and now he's got the perfect excuse: driving herd to Wyoming where he can put down new stakes. It's dangerous, brutal, back-breaking work, but he's more than ready for the challenge.
There's just one problem.
Iris Richmond has been a thorn in the Randolph boys' side since she was a little girl. Fiercely independent, she's vowed to save her ranch by driving her own herd up the long and dusty trail-and Monty's just the man to help her get there. Monty swears he has no intention of taking Iris to Wyoming, but she's never taken no for an answer. As the two fight their way through impossible odds, they'll need to form an alliance that could impact the course of their lives forever.
A Fearless Man
(formerly known as - Seven Brides: Laurel)
All it takes is one FEARLESS man
As the sheriff of Sycamore Flats, Hen Randolph has seen just about everything this lawless land has to offer. Quick in the saddle and quicker on the draw, he's cultivated a reputation for being a ruthless sharpshooter-and an unapologetic loner. Hen's had more than his fair share of complications and is happiest keeping his distance from the world. The trouble is, sometimes the world refuses to keep its distance from him.
Laurel Blackthorne knows what dark and dangerous men are capable of, and she'll be damned if she lets another near her or her son again. But the sheriff seems different-an honest man despite his prickly exterior-and perhaps her only hope of saving herself from a dark past that refuses to let go.
When danger comes calling, can she find it in herself to trust a man who always shoots true? And can this independent loner be convinced that he's ready for something truly worth fighting for?
A Steadfast Man
(formerly known as - Seven Brides: Daisy)

What he finds is a beautiful woman wounded and left for dead.
Daisy Singleton is shocked when she wakes in an unfamiliar cabin, alone with a man she's never met. Confused and angry, all she wants is to leave the shelter of the mountain and track down the villains responsible.
