2001 Defiance Road: Lonestar Terrace, Book 6 (Rojo 2nd Generation: Lonestar Terrace)

Jewel Parker has been blessed with a career she loves, children she adores, and family that drives her crazy in all the ways she can’t live without. Somehow, though, even that isn’t enough to make her truly happy.

Two failed marriages–one amicable, the other an unnatural disaster–have convinced her that love simply isn’t in the cards. She’s content caring for her patients and her family, but there’s a quiet longing inside her for someone strong enough to take care of her too.

When she meets a man who isn’t afraid to snap back when she’s snarky, Jewel is certain there’s no future between them. A second chance encounter shows her how much his presence could change her life for the better, but she still isn’t convinced and bolts before he can try.

Luckily, he’s just as stubborn as she is and more than willing to move heaven and earth to show her how incredible their life together could be.

Join Cee Bowerman back in Rojo, Texas, as she tells the story of Jewel Parker, a woman we’ve all watched grow up, discovering that the man of her dreams does exist . . . and he’s every bit as hard-headed as she is.
