The ultimate boxed set! All 5 Steele Ranch series books in one! Included: Spurred, Wrangled, Tangled, Hitched & Lassoed The ultimate cowboy why choose experience! The steamy contemporary series that has it all, including two (or three!) cowboys in every book! Spurred: Welcome to Steele Ranch, where the men are hot and know what they want. For Cord Connolly and Riley Townsend, that's sinfully sweet Kady Parks. The Philadelphia schoolteacher discovers she's the heir--along with half-sisters she didn't know existed--to the Steele fortune, including a real-life cattle ranch. Instead of spending her summer break at home, she's in Barlow, Montana. And the West is as wild as she imagined, for two hot cowboys have decided she's theirs. And Kady? She's ready to dig in her spurs and hang on tight. -- Wrangled: Pushed by her driven mother to become the best in her field, Penny believes Fate has stepped in when she receives word she isn't just an heiress to Steele Ranch, but had a father she never knew. She takes her chance to break free from the family she never truly felt a part of and heads to Barlow, Montana. Two cowboys have set their sights on the smart, beautiful blonde and they have no intention of letting her go. Jamison and Boone will give her whatever she wants, especially since she's wrangled their hearts. -- Tangled: Cricket is used to relying on no one but herself. Working two jobs to get through nursing school, she has no time for anything but studying and paying the bills. When three hot cowboys give her a night to remember, she believes it's just that. One night. For Sutton, Archer and Lee, Cricket's the one who got away. Hell, she's The One. Period. When fate puts her back in their arms, they'll stop at nothing to keep her. -- Hitched: One unexpected encounter brings Sarah Gandry face to face with the two men she loves. Yes, two. Wilder and King have been the basis for every one of her fantasies for as long as she can remember. But they'd been just that...fantasies. Until now. Now, the three of them get to make things right. To finally be together. But nothing's ever simple and the secrets she's held could tear them apart. -- Lassoed: Sam and Ashe didn't believe in love at first sight. They didn't understand how the men who'd been spurred, wrangled, tangled and even hitched to the other Steele heiresses fell so hard, so fast. Until now. One look at Natalie and Sam and Ashe are ruined for all other women. But she's not easy to tame. They'll need to lasso more than just her heart in order to make her theirs once and for all. But a final twist puts all five of the Steele sisters in danger. With the help of their men, can Natalie, Kady, Penny, Cricket and Sarah finally find peace and bring the one thing back to the ranch that's always been missing? Family.

In her 39th best-selling novel, Danielle Steel brings to life the story of three women, old roommates from college, who come together after twenty years, one summer at The Ranch. They had been inseparable in college, Mary Stuart, Tanya, and Zoe. But in the more than twenty years that followed, the three had moved on with their lives, settled in different cities, and found successful careers and new roles as mothers and wives. By chance, each would find herself alone for a few weeks one summer, wrestling with the present and the past. At a sprawling ranch in the foothills of Wyoming's Grand Teton Range, the three women come together and find courage, healing, and truth, and reach out to each other once again. Despite the honesty they once shared, now pretense between them runs high. Mary Stuart Walker, married for twenty-two years to a Manhattan lawyer, kept herself busy with volunteer work, and now masks the loneliness that consumes her life. A year has past, and Mary Stuart still hasn't gotten over the guilt, or the fear that her husband will never forgive her for their son's death... Tanya Thomas, an award winning singer and rock star, enjoys all the trappings of fame and success--a mansion in Bel Air, legions of fans, and a broken heart. All the Grammy awards in the world can't make up for the children she wanted but never had, the men who have taken advantage of her, and just gone along for the ride, and still are... Dr. Zoe Phillips has her hands full as a single mother to an adopted two-year-old, and as a doctor at an AIDS clinic in San Francisco. Predictably, as they all know, she is as liberal as she ever was, and marriage was never a dream she coveted or shared with them. Tending to her patients is a full-time job that leaves Zoe little time for herself--until unexpected news forces her to reevaluate both her future, and her current life. But despite the changes in their lives, their friendship is still a bond they all treasure and share. For each of the women, a few weeks at the ranch will bring healing and release, as old hurts are buried, ancient secrets revealed, and love replaced or renewed. In The Ranch, bestselling novelist Danielle Steel brings reality to the meaning of friendship, with dramas whose truths we all share.

Melodrama is the foundation of American cinema. It is, however, a poorly understood term. While it is a pervasive and persuasive dramatic mode, it is not tied to any specific moral or ideological system. It is not a singular genre; rather, it operates as a "genre generating machine" capable of determining the aesthetics and structure of the drama within many genres. Melodrama centers the conflict around the clash between good and evil and provides a sense of poetic justice--but the specific values embedded in notions of good and evil are determined by the culture, and they shift from nation to nation, region to region, and period to period. This book explores the "populist" westerns of the 1930s, the propaganda films that followed the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, and the popularity of Sax Rohmer's master villain Fu Manchu. "Melodramas of passion" and film noir also offer a challenge to melodrama with its seemingly alienated protagonists and downbeat endings. Yet, with few exceptions, Hollywood was able to assimilate these genres within its melodramatic imagination.
