No More Dice
About this ebook
Luellen was raised by her uncle and aunt, in a God-fearing home, with little sentiment for life and love. So, the young girl grows up feeling like she’s a freak for being emotional at the drop of a hat, and for her pronounced reticence. People stare at her and spread rumors about the orphan girl who doesn’t grow up to be a regular Texan woman. What is wrong with Luellen is something only one person knows, but the why is the part that a dear friend figures out in time.
Hawk is a grouchy, overworked, stubborn rancher, who has been left to tend to the ranch with his last two brothers, who, in his opinion, are about as useless as tits on a bull, as Texans put it. This, after his two best ranch hands leave; his older brother to move away and start a new career, and his younger brother to help at a ranch in the same town as the older brother. Hawk is hated by many for his fiery temper and loose cannon attitude, until the day someone leaves a secret treasure in his mailbox…shortly after he nearly attacks that someone.
It takes days for Hawk to see what only her best friend has seen for years. But he can’t do anything about it without betraying Luellen’s trust. Chance takes over and the one thing that has haunted Luellen since her parents’ death…disappears. But can she grow up to love and live life the way she deserves? And will a serendipitous gathering save the lives of others? Find out in ‘No More Dice’, a beautiful, heart-wrenching love story that brings together two characters from previous books, and ties in the story arc with two other couples who fell in love earlier in the series. Don’t miss book seven! FYI…it has another painful cliff hanger, so be warned!
