Putting Down Roots
The Roots series takes place in the fictional town of Roots, Texas and will be a series of interconnected standalones. If you love small towns, found family, mental health rep, forced proximity, and cowboys who are obsessed with their women, play guitar, and bake for her, then you'll love Putting Down Roots.
Putting Down Roots
She came to the small town of Roots with a plan. Living with a handsome cowboy? Definitely not part of the plan.
Olivia
After my senior manager suggested I take time off for my mental health, I headed to the small town of Roots, TX to reassure my parents my anxiety is under control. On my first night in town, an unexpected plumbing accident lands me in the home of Rhett Lawson, a rugged cowboy with a gentle heart. The more I’m around Rhett, the harder it becomes to leave Roots. But with a promotion waiting for me back in the city—and people counting on me to return—how can I possibly balance my own happiness with everyone else’s expectations?

Rhett
When I promised Olivia’s parents I’d let her stay with me, I didn’t expect to like the woman who’s kept her parents at a distance for years. What started as a favor to the couple who became my chosen family has turned into something far more complicated. Now, I’m the co-owner of a ninety-pound rescue dog, and I can’t get my new roommate out of my head. After losing so much in the past, I swore I’d never open myself up to love again, but the walls I’ve built around my heart are crumbling, and I fear there’s no way to put them back up.
