Linda Lael Miller's Stone Creek Novels
A Timeline
THE MAN FROM STONE CREEK (June 2006)
- A sweeping novel of adventure as two people determined never to love find that sometimes it's worth the risk...
There's trouble in Haven, Arizona, and Ranger Sam O'Ballivan is determined to sort it all out. Badge and gun hidden, he arrives posing as the new schoolteacher, and his first order of business is to bring the rough rancher's children under control. To that end, he calls on Maddie Chancelor, the local postmistress, whose younger brother is in firm need of discipline.
Sam isn't sure what to expect-but it's definitely not this graceful woman whose prim, proper stance is so at odds with the fire in her eyes. Working undercover to capture a dangerous band of rustlers and train robbers is a job that has always kept him apart from other people. He is a man with his heart firmly in check-until Maddie. Now she is unwittingly tempting him down a path he swore he'd never travel.
A WANTED MAN (July 2007)
- The sweeping tale of two people running from dangerous secrets-and the love that can set them free.
When Rowdy Rhodes stepped onto the pages of Linda Lael Miller's 2006 hardcover The Man from Stone Creek, she knew the former train robber would demand his own story. So now Linda takes her readers back to the Arizona Territory to tell the sweeping tale of two people running from dangerous secrets-and the love that can set them free.
The past has a way of catching up with folks in Stone Creek. So schoolmarm Lark Morgan and Marshal Rowdy Rhodes are determined to hide their secrets-and deny their instant attraction. That shouldn't be too hard, since each suspects the other of living a lie. Her too-fancy clothes and big-city ways inspire gossip all over town; his blond good looks and impudent grin belong to a man sporting a gunfighter's coat.
But Rowdy and Lark have one truth in common: the very real dangers they face. Like the gang of robbers wreaking havoc on the railroad heading toward Stone Creek-the men Ranger Sam O'Ballivan expects Rowdy to nab. And as past and current troubles collide, Rowdy and Lark must surrender their stubborn pride to the greatest power of all-an undying love.
THE RUSTLER (October 2008)
- Secrets and danger explode on the Arizona frontier in this passionate new Stone Creek tale from New York Times bestselling author Linda Lael Miller. The third novel in the Stone Creek series is sure to wrangle in those seeking a great read!
Where does an outlaw go when he’s ready to turn straight? For Wyatt Yarbro, reformed rustler and train robber, Stone Creek is his place of redemption. And lovely Sarah Tamlin is the perfect angel to help him clean up his act . . .
But Sarah keeps a dark secret behind her prim and proper façade, even as her heart is lost to charming, sexy Wyatt. When a vengeful enemy prepares to unleash havoc on the peaceful town, Wyatt and Sarah will discover that they can’t hide from the past. To win the fight, they must believe in something they never trusted before—the hope of tomorrow.
A STONE CREEK CHRISTMAS (December 2008)
- New York Times bestselling author Linda Lael Miller delivers a holiday treat that's chock full of romance and shows that a horse in need is a matchmaker indeed!
Stone Creek veterinarian Olivia O'Ballivan communicates easily with animals, but men are another story. Especially rugged architect-turned-rancher Tanner Quinn. Olivia's uncanny bond with his daughter Sophie's pony, Butterpie, has him questioning her sanity, while she wonders if he's not just a drugstore cowboy.
Then twelve-year-old Sophie conspires with Olivia to get Tanner into the spirit of Christmas with all the trimmings, including a tree-lighting ceremony and a man named Kris Kringle in a sleigh driven by seven reindeer … and a donkey. But will a holiday miracle transform the globe-trotting Tanner into a rancher—and a family man—for all seasons?
THE BRIDEGROOM (August 2009)
- The Arizona frontier provides the backdrop for a tale of passion and dangerous promises.
Gideon Yarbro is known for stopping outlaws almost before they break the law, but now the undercover agent must stop a wedding—despite the bride’s resistance.

Determined to honor an old promise to Lydia, Gideon carries her off to Stone Creek and makes her his reluctant wife. Forget the honeymoon—that’s not wise with a vengeful ex-fiancé on their trail. Yet maybe, just maybe, there’s hope for the marriage&hellip and two hearts always meant to be as one.
AT HOME IN STONE CREEK (November 2009)
- Can the magic of Christmas give two college sweethearts a second chance?
It’s Christmastime and two of Ashley O’Ballivan’s siblings are expecting children. No wonder she feels a bit left out. To make matters worse, Jack McCall—an old college flame—has booked a room at Ashley’s bed-and-breakfast.
When Ashley finds herself nursing Jack back to health after he falls ill, it would seem love was in the air again. In fact, Jack is furious at himself for compromising her safety. Unbeknownst to Ashley, Jack makes his living doing high-tech global security work, which means he has more than his share of enemies. After a picture-perfect Christmas, Jack disappears, and Ashley assumes he’s gone for good. Could anything make him return?
