Tired
for a Match-Made-in-Heaven, She’ll Settle for One
Made in Corsicana
Whether riding bikes, catching snakes, or sliding down banisters,
Essie Spreckelmeyer just can’t quite make herself
into the ideal woman her hometown expects her to be. It’s
going to take an extraordinary man to appreciate her joy
and spontaneity—or so says her doting oil-man father.
Unfortunately such a man doesn’t appear to reside
in Corsicana, Texas.
Taking matters into her own hands, Essie writes down
the names of all the eligible bachelors in her small Texas
town, closes her eyes, twirls her finger, and ... picks
one.
But convincing the lucky “husband-to-be” is
going to a bit more of a problem.

A Texas-Sized Tale of Unexpected
Love
Independent and outspoken, Essie Spreckelmeyer is the last
woman anyone in Corsicana, Texas, expected to see with a
man on her arm.
And the last man who seems willing to give her a second
glance is Tony Morgan, newly hired at Spreckelmeyer’s
oil company. Intent on climbing straight to the top, the
last thing he wants—or needs—is to butt heads
with a headstrong blonde.
As they clash at every turn, friendship between them
seems as unlikely as Essie becoming a properly mannered
lady. But that’s how life is…Deep in the
Heart of Trouble.
