ReconciliationTX

There might be a new sheriff in town.
The little librarian might be some best-selling author.
That uppity city preacher might be evangelizing forgiveness and harmony.
But somethings die hard in Sebida.
Not everyone is buying all this talk about…

#ReconciliationTX.

Jolene might have been born a Monroe, but she had to work for everything she ever got, growing up in a trailer on the wrong side of the tracks. But now, her little girl’s dreams of practicing law in the City of Angeles have come true. Even if she sometimes wonders if the price was her soul.

Donovan has always used his looks to smooth any rough patches that his mind could not. Until he meets the one woman who breaks the mold. Jo might have left him high, dry, hard, and tied in Vegas, but this time he’s not playing by her rules.

Lizzie was the last of Sebida’s vestal virgins. But there were good reasons. Between running the family diner from dawn to bedtime, caring for her disabled brother, and crusading against drunk drivers, she didn’t have any time for a man. If she sometimes feared a bleak future as Sebida’s crazzy cat lady, well, she was doing the ‘right’ thing. Right?

Adam Holloway’s whole life had been carefully planned and orchestrated to follow the family tradition, straight to the statehouse and perhaps beyond. Until his job as District Attorney put him into conflict with the ‘good’ sheriff. Two years later, the man is as dead as Adam’s political career. Until his step-mother starts her conniving. According to Renata Esparza-Cruz, the only thing Adam needs is a good woman by his side to smooth out his bad-boy image.

J. T. Tyler has lived a lie for a quarter of a century, maybe his whole life. But when your family’s history goes back to Old 300, on both sides, and with the illustrious Marianne Buford Walker Tyler as his mother, what other choice did he have? He had watched the woman’s political ambitions tear down his father and his little brother, too. But he’d be damned if the woman did it to his child.

Victoria Flores has a secret. Of course, all drag queens have those. But hers is a bit darker than most. But what happens when she has to choose between avenging her family and the love and acceptance she had craved her whole life?

One little bitty piss-ant country town with more secrets, prejudices, and rules than a big city comes head to head with a handful of dedicated people determined to change things for the better. After all, it’s the 21^st century. Shouldn’t reconciliation come to Sebida, too?
