Straight from the heartland of Texas.In Book One, we meet the owner of The McNaughton, a big cattle ranch situated in Leon County, Texas. It has been in the family for over 150 years, first settled by Ben's Scottish ancestors and passed down to him with a lot of tradition and family loyalty included. The man is a widower and single parent of two sons and a daughter, with friends describing him as a man who holds to old-fashioned values, a hard worker, and a strict but loving parent. He doesn't have much time for anything except his family and the ranch, but when he meets pretty Dee Cortlin and her son, something is reawakened that he had thought was long since dead. But old habits die hard and change is not easy for him, especially since he still loves his wife with all his heart. Ben's kids have grown up learning the cowboy way of life from experts and know what it means to work hard and take responsibility. They're good kids but they "ain't" easy. Sparks begin to fly when Dee's son Gary meets Ben's daughter, Jenny. Jenny McNaughton is like his sister, right? So why is he having all these feelings toward her that could get him killed if her brothers knew what was going on in his head? Gary Cortlin lost his dad when he was ten years old. When he and his mother moved to Centerville, Texas, to live with his grandfather, the only thing that saved his sanity and truly his future well-being was his attachment to Ben McNaughton and his family. Book Two is a novella that chronicles a short period in the life of Ben's oldest son, Adam. Growing up on his family's working ranch in Leon County, Texas, young Adam McNaughton learned all about the cowboy way of life from experts but there were life lessons he had to figure out for himself through trial and error. For instance, who could he really trust? Would it be his dad who had raised him all by himself since Adam was small? His siblings? His best friend, Jimmy? Or would it be that gorgeous, blond girl who had just enrolled in his class at Centerville High School? The one he couldn't get off his mind.Adam loved his dad and had always respected and admired him, but just lately that didn't seem to be working for him anymore. He didn't understand exactly why that was, but it was a fact that was making life difficult for both him and his dad.And then there was football! Being a teenager and making sense of the world is never easy but sometimes it can be fun, if your team is trying to win the State Championship, and especially so if you have that pretty, blond girl on your arm while you're at it!Books in the McNaughton Legacy Series1.The McNaughton*2.Adam: A Novella*3.Guarding the Legacy4.Lost in the Shadows5.Cowboys, Bulls & Thorns6.Sweet Dreams*The McNaughton Legacy - Books One & Two
