This boxset includes books 1 - 4 of the action-packed, clean Doc Beck Westerns series! Book 1: Canyon War “We’re looking for Doc Beck.” “I’m Doctor Rebekah LaRoche.” “But you’re a woman.” Traveling the West as a female physician, 34-year-old Doctor Rebekah LaRoche is no stranger to difficulties. But on her way to New Mexico Territory, an unexpected stay in Amarillo, Texas, leads to confrontation with the Baxter clan – four brothers bred for conflict – and finds Rebekah in deep trouble. Cattle rancher Clem Baxter's private war over grazing rights in the Palo Duro Canyon turns disastrous, and when the dust settles, one of the Baxter brothers is hurt bad. Clem sends for a doctor, not a woman, but that's what he gets when Rebekah, known as "Doc Beck," arrives at the ranch. Now held at Clem's ranch against her will, Rebekah must plot to flee through the night with her young friend into the dangers and beauty of the Palo Duro Canyon. Rebekah has always relied on her wits to get her out of any situation. But does that include facing down men willing to die—and kill—for a wild piece of land just as dangerous as any bullet? Book 2: Mission Bandits "Dios vaya contigo." God go with you. What was Rebekah thinking, riding straight into the guns of murdering bandits? But she couldn't back out. The Mexican army, a town marshal, and the Sancho Guerra gang are facing off when Doctor Rebekah LaRoche and her new friend, Jimmy, arrive in Zapata, New Mexico Territory. The bandits are holding hostages at Hope Academy, a school for girls located in an old mission outside of town, and Rebekah feels compelled to act—she was sent to the school to modernize the infirmary, not see the innocent occupants murdered. The notorious and charismatic bandit, Sancho Guerra, led his band of men on a pillaging spree from Mexico to the mission and has proven his indifference to killing, prepared for any tricks the army or the Zapata town marshal throw at him. But he isn't prepared for Rebekah, and now the Mexican army colonel wants her to do something terrifying—enter the mission and help with the capture of the deadliest men in the territory. Once inside the mission's adobe walls, the game of wits turns personal with Sancho Guerra, becoming a battle burning with an intensity Rebekah may be incapable of handling on her own—or even survive. Book 3: Grave Robbers “You swing just as high for killing one as you do three.” Called on to perform an autopsy for a murder case, Doctor Rebekah LaRoche and Just Jimmy find themselves as unlikely detectives in a town with too many secrets. One of the bandits who held the old mission—and Rebekah—hostage is accused of murdering Ruby Palmer, a young woman who took some of those secrets with her in death. When Rebekah discovers the truth about Ruby’s death during the autopsy, she realizes her former captor is innocent. But when she tries to bring the evidence to light, she soon learns truth isn’t something this town welcomes. There isn’t one straight shooter in the lot—the corrupt sheriff, judge, and leading townsmen are ready to lynch the bandit with barely a trial. The only man Rebekah can put any trust in is Deputy Thad Biggins. But what hidden agenda is driving him? With the whole town against her, Rebekah finds herself facing an impossible choice: let a bandit guilty of many crimes hang for one he didn’t commit; or make one last stand for justice by robbing Ruby Palmer’s grave. Book 4: Desert Captive If thou knewest the gift of God…thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water… There comes a time when one questions every decision they’ve made in life. That moment is here for Doctor Rebekah LaRoche when she is taken captive by her nemesis, the bandit Sancho Guerra, and spirited across the desert to a hidden village in Mexico. With no hope of rescue, Rebekah must earn a place among the families of bandits as a medical doctor until she can devise a way to reach the top of the road leading out of the valley—without being shot by the three sets of guards. Little does Rebekah know that her long-time friend, Laramie Jones, is on his way to attempt a hopeless rescue. If she knew his plans, she’d beg him to stay away: no one has ever penetrated the bandits’ valley and lived to tell about it. With factions closing in all around her, time is ticking down toward an explosive conclusion, and Rebekah will have to draw on her greatest strength yet to survive.
