In 1885 in Fergus, Idaho, Gert Dooley has an unusual job for a woman--test firing guns for her brother the gunsmith--and years of practice have made her an excellent shot. When a murder in town scares her friends, Gert starts the Ladies' Shooting Club to teach the women how to shoot. Their independence upsets the men in town, and Sheriff Chapman finds himself trying to solve a murder and restore peace between the town's women and men.
Book 2
Can the shy gunsmith and the widowed storekeeper find love when everything around them is in an uproar? Hiram Dooley has problems--"women" problems! His sister's about to leave him to get married (if Sheriff Ethan Chapman ever proposes); his sister-in-law, Rose, thinks Hiram should marry her, since they're both widowed; and the woman he truly loves, Libby Adams, is blind to his regard. The schoolmarm has a different problem--a man claiming to be her uncle came to Fergus. . .and then disappeared. Did her father kill him? Can the Ladies' Shooting Club once again ride to the rescue?
Book 3
"By age twelve, Vashti Edwards was orphaned and working her way west in different saloons. Life in Fergus, Idaho, has given Vashti new hope in Christian friends from the Ladies' Shooting Club and an employer who turned her saloon into a restaurant. But money is tight and Vashti tries to get the job she's dreamed of--stagecoach driver. Griffin Bane, local blacksmith, is overseeing the stagecoach line and admits he needs more help. But can a woman--even one known to be a good markswoman--handle the challenges and dangers on the trail? As soon as Vashti starts her new job, the line is targeted by a band of robbers. Was Griffin a fool to put a woman at the reins, and can he bravel the beautiful distraction she makes as he takes to riding shotgun? Will the Ladies' Shooting Club catch the bandits and bring the stubborn couple together?"--P. [4] of cover.
