The Prodigal Texan

Making amends No one expected Jud Ritter to return to Homestead, Texas, least of all mayor Miranda Wright—the woman he made a fool of right before he left town for good. Miranda has enough on her hands trying to stop the crimes directed at recipients of the land giveaway program she started. And must now finish, if some people in the town get their way… An Austin police officer on leave, Jud’s here to help find the culprits, reconcile with his estranged brother—and apologize to Miranda. He misses their old rivalry and had never planned to hurt her. But he hadn’t realized how much she meant to him until he saw what Miranda was willing to put on the line for the town—and for him.
