Summary
“Oh hush now!’ John gulps as he looks up at her exasperated expression as she scoffs at his antics. Nimble fingers already unbuttoning her blouse and shrugging it off her shoulders as she continues, “I didn’t take you for such a prude when I married you, John Marston.” She wears a smirk on her lips as she continues to undress, now untying her skirts as John’s voice is lost in his throat and his mouth dry. “Now you big baby, strip and get in while it’s warm.”

Summary
In 1908, John Marston ventures down to Tumbleweed in want of a good horse. What he finds there shatters the hard won life he'd spent all these years coming to grips with.
In 1885, John Marston caught Arthur Morgan making time with a man, and true to form, he just couldn't leave well enough alone.
Or, Arthur has been John's weakness for longer than he can properly remember. For better or for worse, that ain't likely to change no matter how many years he got under his belt.

Summary
"He stares up at the orange sky, and then turns his head so his face can soak in the setting sun’s warmth. He drinks in the sight of a beautiful sunset, when his eyes should be unseeing."
Or: Arthur wakes up in the year 1910 with no idea as to how or why. He doesn't know what to do, until he learns John is, once again, in trouble.

Summary
Life's settled and things are calm now that Micah Bell's been dealt with and Dutch has disappeared. The Marston family has Beecher's Hope and seems that they might close that chapter of their life without qualm. Only there's one question that keeps pestering Abigail and it's high time she addresses it with her husband. A question about a romantic night in Blackwater and the way in which he asked The Question.
-
“Why’s it you went with a boat?”
Abigail turned around, leaned against the counter and gestured at him with her knife as she asked the question that’d been chasing her thoughts for weeks now.
Across the room, where he stood admiring that danged taxidermy piece of art (by his insistence) that spoiled the good humours of the parlour, John started, whipped his head around to look at her. “What about a boat?” he asked, confusion and wariness rife in the expression. Unexpected questions from her often meant he’d done something what angered her and so, rightly, he had learned to be cautious when they cropped up.
“When you proposed, John,” she shot back. “Why’d you insist on that boat?”

Summary
'He’s still staring at the card, hands trembling, thoughts racing – he’d heard some of the stories about Marston too – apparently, he’d shot half the law in New Haven in a grand shootout in Valentine. He dwells on the line about how Marston met Van Der Linde, and thinks of the decades-old strangulation scar that hides under his bandanna. Tries to piece together the quiet man who hung nervously near the back at barn dances before his wife pulled him onto the floor to dance with her, with the list of crimes on the little card.'

Summary
"Arthur had learned this dance over the past decade. It was much more delicate than the ugly tumble it took to start a fight. Finding out if someone was itching for violence was simple, the signs often plain and in the open. It was expected of men to have the urge sometimes, as if they had a build-in affinity towards bloodied knuckles and bruised skin.
But the other dance was more complicated. It worked through small gestures, lingering gazes, fleeting touches. It had taken Arthur years to learn the intricacies of it.
He had also learned the prize for any misstep."
A look at Arthur's life, 1877-1898.

Summary
John tiene un secreto del que ni siquiera Arthur era consciente.
Cuando Arthur sobrevive a la caída de la pandilla, es hora de que la caja se destape, no sin antes llegar a la vida de una fuerte y encantadora hacendada con una hija que le recuerda a alguien, y un pequeño que lo ve con admiración.
El reverendo Swanson y la hermana Calderón, lo aconsejan: un padre no es aquel que deja su semilla en una mujer, un padre es aquel que guía, ama y protege.
Isabel Salvatierra ama a su hija con todo su ser, pero a veces es difícil pensar en el padre que nunca pudo darle, y se pregunta si algún día John Marston volverá a su vida para llevarse lo que ella ama.
No solo Norteamérica es la tierra de las segundas oportunidades.
