Nell’s Cowboy

Nell Bishop, widowed mother of two children, is turning Twin Canyons into a dude ranch. One of her first guests is Travis Grant, a celebrity of sorts, a wannabe cowboy, an ‘Easterner’ known for his books about the West. Nell’s kids are crazy about him, and Nell...she could fall for him herself. But it’s too soon to be thinking of love and marriage again. Too soon! Not only that, Travis seems intent on stirring up the town by uncovering the mystery in its past...

Lone Star Baby

Wade McMillen might be a minister, but he’s also a man. An unmarried and very attractive one. Is it as a man that he responds to the lovely young woman who shows up in Promise, pregnant and alone? Or as a man of God? Maybe it’s both. Amy Thornton hopes to make a new life for herself and her baby, and to do that, she needs Reverend McMillen’s help, his compassion. What she wants is the love of a man named Wade...

Promise, Texas

Some of the people in Promise are from old ranching families — like the Westons and Pattersons — folks who arrived in the Hill Country more than a century ago. And then there are newcomers like Annie Applegate, who opens a bookstore in town. Some might say Annie does things backward. She marries a widowed veterinarian for the sake of his kids...and discovers that marriage can lead to love.

In Promise, everyone’s life is a story! The people here, like people everywhere, experience tragedies as well as triumphs, sorrow as well as joy. This town, like towns everywhere, has its share of secrets. But whether times are good or bad, you’re never alone in a place like Promise. And as Annie Applegate knows, that makes all the difference.

Return To Promise

The ranching town of Promise is a good place to live, to raise a family, to spend the rest of your days with the person you love. Cal Patterson and his wife, Jane — also known as Dr Texas — certainly think so. The last thing they expect is a threat to their happiness. But in September, disagreements begin to escalate — with the ‘help’ of an attractive young woman who’s got her eye on Cal.

After months of emotional upheaval brought on by doubts about their marriage, the two separate, and Jane returns to her childhood home in California, taking their children. Cal, now alone on his ranch, is forced to confront what he really wants in his life, what he needs. Jane is confronting the same questions...how seriously does Cal take his marriage vows? And how important is Promise to Jane? Is there hope for a reconciliation — in time for Christmas?
