Dust and Inheritance, a prequel to Boots and Stilettos

READ FREE by becoming an ARC reader

If you loved Boots and Stilettos, or you simply like a story with grit, heart, and a little mystery tucked into the corners, you’re going to want this.

Dust and Inheritance is the prequel to Boots and Stilettos, set in 1950s Montana. Back when the land was the law, handshakes mattered, and some families guarded their past like it was gold. This story goes behind the curtain and answers a question readers keep circling back to: How did Jake end up on that land, and what did it cost to keep it?

Because here’s the truth about ranch country, nothing comes easy. Not the acres. Also Not the legacy. Not the name on the deed.

In Dust and Inheritance, you’ll step into a Montana that feels wide open, but still claustrophobic in all the ways that matter. Neighbors watch. Rumors travel faster than horses. Paperwork carries power. And a single decision, made at the wrong moment, can echo for generations. This is a story about inheritance, yes, but not just money and property. It’s about who gets to belong, who gets pushed out, and who’s willing to fight for what’s theirs, even when the system feels stacked.

Now here’s the fun part.
