Every heart in Cadillac, Texas, knows one truth: nothing brings a town together like a little mischief, a lot of laughter, and the promise of a second chance.
When Carlene Lovell's world is turned upside down by her cheating ex, she's determined to win back her pride--and maybe even her happiness--at the town's annual chili cook-off. As rivalries spark and family bonds deepen, smitten Police Chief Jack Landry sees his chance to show Carlene that true love can be found where you least expect it.
Packed with Southern wit, irresistible charm, and a cast of unforgettable characters, A Heap of Texas Trouble has been overwhelmingly praised for its laugh-out-loud storytelling and strong women. New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Brown delivers the warm, feel-good spirit that defines small-town romance.
If you crave women's fiction where redemption is served with a wink and every page feels like coming home, this is the Texas tale you'll want to read again and again.
