Some series drop you into the middle of the action and say, “Good luck, partner.”
The Spyker Ranch Series does the opposite. It starts at the beginning, on purpose, so you can feel how the land became the land, how the name became the name, and how one decision can echo across generations.
If you’ve seen the image above, you already get the vibe: worn leather, rope, dust, history, and just enough romance to make you lean in a little closer.
Here’s the simple roadmap:
- Dust and Inheritance is Book 1, the prequel, and the origin story of Spyker Ranch
- Boots and Stilettos is already published, and it’s the “present day” love story that comes after
And yes, I know… the availability is a little “western complicated.” We’ll handle that in a second.
Dust and Inheritance (Book 1): The Origin Story You’ll Be Glad You Read First
Dust and Inheritance releases for purchase on March 2, and you can pre-order right now here:
The Kindle version is only $2.99, and it lays the foundation for everything in the Spyker Ranch world.
This is a clean historical western romance set in the 1950s, built around the kind of choices people made when survival mattered more than comfort. It’s a marriage of convenience rancher romance with real stakes, real weather, and real consequences. It’s also a cowboy romance prequel series starter, so even if you’ve never read a single Spyker Ranch page, this book welcomes you in and sets the table.
If you love storylines that lean into family, community, and legacy, this one plays right into that lane as an inspirational western family saga novella. It’s written for readers who want that clean, warm, satisfying kind of story, the kind that keeps things heartfelt and closed door, without sacrificing tension or chemistry.
Think of it as small town historical fiction in the 20th century, with a Montana backbone. And yes, the story is inspired by real roots, so it also fits that “western origin story based on true events” feel that makes everything hit a little harder.
What you’ll discover in Dust and Inheritance
- How Spyker Ranch came into existence
- The early relationships, pressure points, and turning moments that shaped the family
- The emotional “why” behind the ranch, not just the “how”
- The kind of love that doesn’t show off, it shows up
If you start with Book 1, you’ll understand the ranch in your bones. Then, when you move into the later story, every fence line and family name will mean more.
Boots and Stilettos (Sequel): A Slow Burn With Serious Sparks
Now for the sequel: Boots and Stilettos is already out, and it’s a fan-favorite setup: a small town western romance slow burn series vibe, full of tension and heart, while keeping it clean cowboy romance, closed door, wholesome.
This is where you get the “opposites attract” energy turned up to eleven:
- Opposites attract grumpy sunshine cowboy
- Fish out of water city girl, country boy
- A confident, capable heroine who doesn’t crumble under pressure
- A ranch world that’s beautiful, stubborn, and unforgiving in all the right ways
And because we’re not doing this halfway, it also hits the “modern fairytale with boots on” flavor:
- Italian heiress billionaire romance Montana
- Entrepreneur heroine saves the ranch family saga
- Sweet contemporary western romance HEA
In other words, yes, you’ll get your happily ever after. But you’re going to earn it, scene by scene, look by look, and moment by moment.
The Amazon situation (the quick, honest version)
Right now, Boots and Stilettos is NOT on Amazon in the usual formats. If you want it on Amazon, the hardcover version is the option.
But the good news is, it’s available in plenty of other places, and I’ve made that simple.
