The Shortest Distance Between Two Women by Kris Radish. When Samuel calls Emma Gilford and leaves a message on her answering machine, she’s angry. She’s done her best to distance herself from him, and she wants him to stay gone… or so she says. She’s always been the dependable one in the family, but she just might have reached to point of breaking down – or breaking through.

Other Men’s Horses by Elmer Kelton. Texas Ranger Andy Pickard would rather be at home with his new bride. Instead, he’s on the trail of a horse trader who killed a thief, and catching up with him may be just the start of his troubles.
