BUY BUTTONS (in ABC Order):

 A Texas-Sized Tale of Unexpected Love

Essie Spreckelmeyer is the last woman anyone in Corsicana, Texas, expected to see with a man on her arm. Independent and outspoken, she's known more for riding bicycles in outrageous bloomers than for catching a man's eye.

And the last man who seems willing to give her a second glance is Tony Morgan, newly hired at Spreckelmeyer's oil company. The disinherited son of an oil baron, Tony wants most to restore his name and regain his lost fortune--not lose his heart to this headstrong blonde. She confounds, contradicts, and confuses him. Sometimes he doesn't know if she's driving him toward the aisle or the end of his rope.

That's how life is ... Deep in the Heart of Trouble

FIVE STAR RATING

Gist has once again written a delightfully humorous historical romance. After reading the first book in this series of two, I was anxious to get my hands on this one. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed ... It is a spectacular, feel-good story which I highly recommend. You will definitely be glad you read it.
The Romance Studio, Brenda Talley
Deep in the Heart of Trouble is full of the kind of amusing antics I have come to expect from Deeanne Gist ... The secondary characters shine just as much as the leads ... Ms. Gist does not skimp on characterization one bit and we are left feeling as if the townsfolk of Corsicana are truly our friends.
— CK2S Kwips & Kritiques, Cindy Mealer
Deep in the Heart of Trouble ... engaged me and kept me wanting more the whole way through. I have actually never read this genre before, but this book was a great introduction into the scene ... This was a pure joy to read, it really was.
