Cartwright Stories

Madeline Cartwright, Virginia City's school teacher, has a brilliant plan for a school program that her students will perform at the end of the term. But a wrench is thrown into her plans when none of her three stepbrothers or ranch hand Candy Canaday can build the wooden stage she needs so that the program will run smoothly. So even though it's the last thing she wants to do, she accepts Kevin Butler's offer to build it for her. Kevin Butler never expected Ben Cartwright's oldest stepdaughter to accept his offer, especially since they aren't exactly friends and almost always rub each other the wrong way, ending up in a hot, fiery argument. In fact, they've nearly become enemies thanks to their knack for doing that but as time goes on, he begins to see her true colors and he discovers that she's not as mean and hot tempered as she seems. Even though neither of them realizes it, the wooden stage and Kevin's seven-year-old son, Oakley are bringing them together and by the time they finally figure out what they mean to each other, it's nearly too late. Find out if Madeline from Rose, My Love will find finally find love and if Kevin can let himself love again after losing his wife. This is the first book of the Cartwright Gals: A Romancing the Ponderosa Spinoff series. If you haven't already, I suggest you read the Romancing the Ponderosa series first to better understand this story and its characters.

Did you ever wonder what happened after Adam Cartwright is found by his Pa, and brothers, after his 'slave-like' ordeal with Peter Kane, in that great dramatic Bonanza episode " The Crucible", from Season 3 ? So did I - so I decided to write it ! ;) This is a 'what-happened-next, stand alone' story, and can be read at any time, and be easily followed, and understood, whether you've read my other stories, or not. For full affect, though, it's better if you have seen the episode " The Crucible", as a lead up to, and for a bit more background information, to this story.

Little Joe and his older brother Hoss go mudding. When Adam discovers them tearing up the southern pastures Hoss deserts Joe, who then has to hid the torn up terrain of the southern pastures from his father, Ben Cartwright, who will definitely not be pleased to see the fruit of his son's antics. (My Bonanza stories take place in Modern day Colorado/New Mexico area, whereas the original Bonanza TV shows were set in Nevada.)

In this 'retro' story, a 13 year old Adam Cartwright helps his nearly 7 year old brother, Hoss, deal with the school bully, Jeremy Fitch. A bully that loves picking on the kids that are 'different'. With help from his Pa, too, Hoss proves to his family, and friends, just what he's 'made of', and truly proves 'the mark of a boy '. This is a 'retro - stand alone' story, and can be read at any time, and be easily followed and understood, whether you've read my other stories, or not.

When Chief Winnemucca of the of the Paiute tribe shows up at the Ponderosa one morning, it causes an uproar of excitement for the Cartwrights! The Chief wants Ben to trade him two beef cattle for the feisty redheaded gal he brought with him. But Ben doesn't want to trade cattle for a person. That is until Adam talks him into going through with the trade, promising to take full responsibility for the girl. Adam learns real fast that he just might have gotten himself in way deeper than he expected, especially since the redhead turns out to be not only a spitfire, but a very beautiful spitfire... (This is book two of Romancing the Ponderosa series and it is NOT a standalone. You must read the first book, Mrs. Little Joe for it to make sense since The Redhead begins three months after Mrs. Little Joe ends.)

The Cartwright brothers have drawn 'lots', to see who will make the hundred mile journey to pick up a valuable stallion for their busy Pa. Adam and Hoss 'win' that draw. In what starts out as a routine trip, soon turns into a life and death struggle, as an old nemesis of the Cartwrights' appears on the scene, seeking revenge. These stories make the most sense when read in their proper order : Book 1, Book 2, etc.

Candy is the most interesting man I've ever met. He seems to always have a reason to smile. But all other men have let me down in the past; I refuse to allow his perfect smile or crystal clear blue eyes get the best of me. The feeling of his hand gripping me that first day in town seems as though its engraved in my mind. Almost as if my arm had a memory of that feeling; a feeling that would never fade. Despite what Little Joe says, I shall continue to ignore it. A man like Candy would never lower himself to a woman like me. DISCLAIMER I DO NOT OWN THESE CHARACTERS OR STORY SETTING. THIS IS FANFIC FOR THE TV SERIES BONANZA AND TAKES PLACE AROUND SEASON 10.

What do you do when everyone around you are hell bent on making sure your arranged marriage happen before your 25th birthday? You run away... Meet Riley Evans, the perfect All-American girl-next-door with a prominent family name that rivaled the Kennedys and the Rothschilds. Before her eighth birthday, Riley had been betrothed to Phillip Cartwright the third; the son of her grandmother's dearest friend - of the Cartwright International and many more subsidiary companies - the only family her darling-yet-uptight grandmother deemed worthy - and of course, wealthy enough - to marry her first granddaughter. The problem was, they never met. And Riley wasn't going to be shipped off to London to live in a country so far away from her friends, family and most importantly, her book club. Now meet Phillip Cartwright the third, firstborn of the ever-so recognizable Cartwright offspring with their trademark jet black hair and ice-blue eyes. Not only was Phillip both Harvard and Oxford-educated, he was also handsome, family-oriented, supremely generous and oh-so charming. But this loving grandson wouldn't let his scheming grandmother marry him off to some rich American heiress, no matter how prominent her family name was or how much her family connection could further his business. When they both embarked on a journey to escape from their own respective fate, a little island in the Pacific Ocean might bring them closer than ever...
