Before long Trudy's leading a double-life—Ann's life—complete with a secret apartment where she entertains the men she meets at upscale bars. But their worlds collide the night Trudy brings home the wrong man—one who has an angry score to settle. With Ann. Now, unless Trudy can convince him she's not the woman he's after, she may pay the highest price of all. . .

On the surface, Samson Washington and Johnny Lightfoot Stevenson couldn’t be more different. Johnny was born to an Indian mother and White father in the West, growing up in an Indian camp, always on the move while he learned the ways of his tribe. As a half-breed, he hovered between two worlds. But Johnny’s life takes a turn when he is in his late teens, and an old sheriff hires him as his deputy…along with a young Black man, Samson Washington.

Follow Samson and Johnny on their journey of love, hatred, bravery, and compassion as they protect their loved ones and stand up for what they know is right. Mountain Creek will take you on the unforgettable journey of two unique men who became closer than blood brothers.

Following the Glorious Revolution, the supporters of the House of Stuart, known as Jacobites, could be found throughout the British Isles. The Scottish county of Angus, or Forfarshire, made a significant contribution to the Jacobite armies of 1715 and 1745. David Dobson has compiled a list of about 900 persons--including not only soldiers but also civilians who lent crucial support to the rebellion. Arranged alphabetically, the entries always give the full name of the Jacobite, his occupation, his rank, date of service and unit (if military), and, sometimes, the individual's date of birth, the names of his parents, a specific place of origin, and a wide range of destinations to which the Jacobites fled after each of the failed insurrections.
