The Laws of Attraction
by Mary Connealy
2023
Widowed dressmaker Nell Armstrong longs to sew something prettier than chaps. When widower Brand Nolte brings his three girls to her shop, she finally gets that chance—and is soon neck-deep in an investigation into the Deadeye Gang that pushes her into public office and danger.
Marshaling Her Heart
by Mary Connealy
2023
Ranch owner Becky Pruitt likes being in charge and far from her abusive father’s control. When foreman Nate Paxton admits he’s a former U.S. marshal hunting the Deadeye Gang, he asks to base a posse on her land. Letting him in means risking both her ranch and her heart.
Forged in Love
by Mary Connealy
2023
After a stagecoach robbery kills her father and brother, blacksmith Mariah Stover wakes with no memory of the attack. Taking over the forge in 1870s Wyoming riles townsfolk and a lethal gang alike. Restaurateur Clint Roberts stands beside her as threats and unexpected feelings spark.
Series background & context
Wyoming Sunrise is set in the 1870s town of Pine Valley, where women are quietly reshaping what’s considered “women’s work.” Blacksmiths, seamstresses, and ranch owners share the stage with a shadowy band of outlaws known as the Deadeye Gang, whose crimes tie the three books together.
In Forged in Love, Mariah Stover survives a brutal stagecoach robbery that kills her father and brother and leaves her with no memory of the attack. Taking over her father’s blacksmith shop in town puts her in the crosshairs of both skeptical townsfolk and whoever wants to be sure witnesses stay silent. Restaurant owner Clint Roberts, a refined cook with his own painful past, becomes an unlikely ally as threats close in.
The Laws of Attraction turns to widowed seamstress Nell Armstrong, who is sick of sewing endless chaps for cowboys. When widower Brand Nolte brings his three motherless daughters to town, Nell seizes the chance to make pretty dresses and teach the girls to sew. Her late husband’s experience in law enforcement and her sharp mind pull her into an investigation when a wounded survivor of another stagecoach attack arrives, and she soon finds herself holding public office in a town not quite ready for that.
In Marshaling Her Heart, ranch owner Becky Pruitt is proud of running her spread without a man’s name on the deed. Her trusted foreman, Nate Paxton, quietly reveals that he’s a former U.S. marshal and wants to use the ranch as a base for a posse hunting the Deadeye Gang. Agreeing means inviting danger onto her land—and into her heart—as the two work side by side.
The trilogy is rich with community life: town meetings, church services, and shared meals, all under the looming question of who in Pine Valley might be feeding information to the gang. Wyoming Sunrise is a good fit if you like capable heroines in unconventional roles, friendships that feel lived-in, and a mystery arc that threads neatly through three romances.
