Home Is Where Your Boots Are: A Sexy, Southern, Somewhat Cozy Mystery

by Kalan Chapman Lloyd

Heartbreak. Home. Gunshots.
Former small town girl turned big city lawyer Lilly Atkins has tidily checked off her adult to-do list.
× Prestigious law degree
× Flourishing career
× Designer wardrobe
× Well-bred fiancé
In a moment of cliché, her list gets whipped out the window. And run over a few times. So she heads home to Brooks, Oklahoma. Where the creek is cool and the gossip is always hot. With nothing better to do, Lilly sets up shop to work off her broken heart. Before the paint can dry, her former flame, Dr. Cash Stetson, shows up requesting representation. For his divorce. Two new clients involve a possible negligent homicide and the desecration of human remains, both cases stemming from the local hospital. Run by Cash. When her not so unrequited love’s wife turns up dead, Lilly begins to wonder if the former bad-boy is up to no good. After all, old habits never die, they just get harder to justify.
