The Texas Cowboy’s Proposal (Texas Heritage Book 1)

What do Publishers Weekly and New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Carolyn Brown have in common? Their love for Debra Holt’s newest release!

Publishers Weekly: “Holt’s skillful plotting and gift for creating charming, down-to-earth characters will immediately ensnare fans of western romance. Beaudry’s eight-year-old daughter, Lacy, steals every scene she’s in, and Holt skillfully teases future installments with hints of a love connection between Sammi Jo’s sister and Beaudry’s brother. Readers will look forward to their next visit to this quaint Texas town.”

“Queen of Cowboy Romance” Carolyn Brown: “Full of fun and emotion, Ms. Holt’s new series begins with a bang.”

They had a foolproof plan…until one little girl got involved.

Sammi Jo Burkitt’s formidable grandmother’s will is pushing Sammi Jo to the brink. Yes, the feisty cowgirl can keep the ranching empire known as Aces High, which has been the family birthright for two centuries, but she must marry her rival and stay married for three years as part of the deal. Say no, and Aces High goes on the auction block.

Beaudry Hawkes wants nothing to do with the high and mighty Burkitts. Until the day Sammi Jo shows up on his doorstep with a proposition no one in their right mind would refuse: wear her ring, then accept thousands of acres of rich ranch land and a tidy sum of three million dollars when they part ways. The windfall could change everything for his daughter’s future.

But eight-year-old Lacy is becoming attached to the idea of one happy family. Nothing short of a true marriage between the two can make her dreams come true. Can Sammi Jo and Beaudry find their freedom and love too?
