description: A Rough Hewn Cowboy - A woman decides to become a mail order bride but goes west under subterfuge – she already has a man lined up even though she will be supposedly matched up with a cowboy by the company who is paying her way. When she gets there, she can’t find him, so settles for an unappetizing but un-assigned man. Things do go downhill rather fast from that point onward.
  Man Alone  - A woman from England decides to get out of London and seek a husband in California and after corresponding with a cowboy, makes her way there. There is nothing to do when he’s gone for weeks at a time and she begins to get restless, until an idea about owning their own mercantile store forms. She is nervous about asking him but after something happens to her cowboy, she sees hope on the horizon.
  Hiding Out With Her Outlaw Husband & His Mother  - A mail ordered bride expects to be met at the railway station by her intended but he’s nowhere to be found. She eventually trudges two miles to his home, but is repulsed by both his attitude and appearance, and his gang who are exceptionally seedy. Someone rescues her and as the days pass, and she’s holed up in a cabin with him and his ancient crone of a mother, things begin to heat up.
  Hummingbirds In The Garden – The Young Widow & Her New Cowboy Husband - A young widow goes out west to her new cowboy fiancé and is immediately attracted to him; but she cannot forget her first husband and the joy they had together, until a friendly spirit guides her to the love that is waiting in her cowboy’s arms.
