Book Description
Pubblicato nel 1928 come seguito del fortunatissimo "Forlorn River", "Nevada" vede nuovamente al centro della scena l’omonimo cowboy – il cui nome è in realtà Jim Lacy – che, dopo essere riuscito a salvarsi dalle peripezie del precedente romanzo, lavora adesso in incognito, fra le sanguinose bande di ladri di bestiame che infestano l’Arizona. Cresciuto in mezzo a violenze di ogni tipo, e con un’abilità notevole sia nel cavalcare che nell’usare corda e revolver, Nevada ha però un cuore puro e un senso profondissimo della giustizia. Se si somma tale sua natura benevola a un amore sincero da cui tornare, si hanno già tutte le coordinate entro cui ambientare un’avventura senza tempo, che concilia i paesaggi immensi del Far West con le tribolazioni più umane. Pearl Zane Grey (1872-1939) nasce a Zanesville (Ohio), quarto figlio di un affermato dentista. Appassionato fin dall’infanzia di letteratura, pesca e baseball, inizia a scrivere i primi racconti a soli quindici anni. Grazie a una borsa di studio, ottenuta proprio col baseball, nel 1896 si laurea e si trasferisce a New York, dove per qualche anno esercita la professione dentistica di famiglia. Annoiato dalla routine, però, Zane comincia a scrivere febbrilmente, producendo una notevole quantità di romanzi, tutti ambientati nell’amato West. Sebbene inizialmente rifiutato da vari editori, nel 1910 ottiene finalmente un insperato successo, grazie al best-seller "L’eredità del deserto". È l’inizio di una carriera che lo renderà uno fra i romanzieri più amati dal grande pubblico statunitense (e non solo). Fra i suoi moltissimi titoli – da cui, tra l’altro, sono stati tratti ben 110 film e una serie televisiva – si possono citare "L’anima della frontiera" (1906), "Il ponte dell’arcobaleno" (1915), "Il vagabondo del deserto" (1923) e "Stirpe eroica" (1925).

Book Description
Kidnapped by dangerous renegade, a beautiful debutante finds boundless passion in this epic historical romance by the author of Half-Breed’s Bride. The notorious outlaw called Nevada didn’t ride for gold . . . he rode for vengeance. But this night he’d found a treasure beyond compare: Her name was Cherish. Swept up into Nevada’s strong arms, carried through the darkness into a wild land, she felt her body stirring against the bare chest of her virile captor. As he held her close and stroked her softly, he made a ransom demand that left Cherish trembling: one night in his bed and he’d return her to her bridegroom. Yet if she surrendered her innocence in a single ravishing encounter, could she forget this desperado's kisses, come the dawn? Or would she burn for his loving caresses now and forevermore? Praise for the writing of Georgina Gentry “Strongly crafted characters . . . Sizzling sexuality—what more can a reader yearn for?” —Rendezvous “Nobody does it like [Georgina Gentry] does!” —Barbra Critiques

Book Description
He was called Nevada, a name he took to lose his past. As a boy he had been thrown among brutal and evil men. He had worked himself above their influence time and again, only to be thrown back, by his own desire for justice or vengeance, into the midst of strife. With a new identity he made a new reputation, but old troubles and old enemies haunted him wherever he went. Nevada was the quiet type who would rather work hard and plan for better days. Skilled with a horse and a rope, he could also shoot fast and straight. As he got closer to thinking he could get back to the woman he loved, a gang of rustlers threatened everything. Once again, he had to choose between risks, if his passions didn't choose for him.
