Callie Brewster came back from Afghanistan three years
ago,
and since her sister's death, she has been raising her
nephew, Martin, now eight years old. Things were going
rather
well until the week before when Martin witnessed a murder
and he will have to testify. Callie adamantly refuses to
go in the Witness Protection Program; instead she decides
to reach out to a trusted comrade in arms: Finn
O'Donnell. Finn has relocated in the small town of Burnt
Boot, Texas with his dog, Shotgun. He's had a crush on
Callie for years, but neither thought it a good idea to
have a personal relationship, and when he got involved
with another woman, they lost track of each other. Until
she showed up unexpectedly that November day asking for
his protection.
At first glance, Callie thought she was settling in a
quiet, small town, but the feud between two local
families, the Gallaghers and the Brennans, makes it
everything but. A woman from each clan has set her sights
on Finn; and both see Callie as an enemy. Their Holiday
Season hostilities have been a yearly tradition for as
long as anybody can recall, and the presence of Callie
has upped the ante.
COWBOY BOOTS FOR CHRISTMAS is the first book in the brand
new Burnt Boot, Texas series, and to say it's
promising
would be a major understatement! It's a charming, sweet,
touching, entertaining and zany story, filled with a
fantastic and colourful cast of characters and the
funniest menagerie ever, including a parrot nobody will
forget. The Gallagher-Brennan family feud is just sheer
madness, the dialogue is priceless, funny and authentic:
I felt I was right there in Texas! Carolyn Brown was a
new author to me, and I cannot wait for what she has in
store for us in the upcoming books! Burnt Boot,
Texas is
where I want to spend Christmas this year!
'Tis the season for...
Feasting
Frolicking
And...Feuding?
All he wants for Christmas is peace and quiet...
After two tours in Afghanistan, retired Army sniper Finn

where nobody knows her name.
But that's going to take a miracle...
Callie Brewster must relocate to protect her young nephew,
Martin, and the only person she trusts is her old Army
friend, Finn. Burnt Boot seems like the perfect place to
be anonymous, but it turns out a small town with big drama
is no place to hide...
