The complete Bootheel series now available at a discounted price.

BOOTHEEL BRIDE

Returning to the bootheel is bittersweet for Jessie Stevens. When she and her brother return to the home they fled years earlier, they find Gabe Kirby, their neighbor who was kind to Jessie as a girl, guarding the farm.

Successful cotton farmer Gabe remembers Jessie fondly from childhood, but the grown up Jessie takes his breath away. He thought his life would be devoted to helping others and not include marriage, but now he questions that. Can her convince Jessie—and himself—that they can find happiness together?

BOOTHEEL BACHELOR

Jason Stevens is a bad risk for marriage. Fear of repeating his father’s abusive behavior toward his mother has him convinced he will live his life as a bachelor. As a member of the newly organized Missouri Highway Patrol, he certainly doesn’t need the complications of fiery Veda Kirby, the sister of the man his sister married, stirring up his emotions.

All young widow Veda wants is to start over and run a business of her own, in a location distant from her family’s illegal bootlegging activities.

BOOTHEEL BETROTHAL

Lynn Buchanan is looking for her birth mother. After losing her parents and learning she is adopted, Lynn travels to the SE section of Missouri known as the bootheel to search for her mother. When she tangles with handsome Mitch Stratton, her plans and dreams are thrown into a tailspin.

Mitch must focus on keeping his cotton gin operating and providing jobs for his employees. Meeting the newfound sister of his best friend is a complication to his plans—and his heart.
