Al Pennyback travels to East Texas to help a cousin who has received an offer to buy some of his land. There are two problems: the land is worthless despite the buyer offering a hundred thousand dollars for it, and his neighbor strongly objects to him selling it--for reasons he can't determine. The more Al learns about the two situations, the more confused he becomes. The more he pries into it, the more he antagonizes someone who just might kill him to stop him from learning the truth.

Saving Grace
"Dance with me." While I knew it wasn't a demand, it wasn't a question either. I hesitated and he noticed. "Come on Grace, give this gentleman the honor of a dance." "I don't see a gentleman anywhere." He chuckled, stepping closer and tucking his thumbs into his tight jean pockets. He looked like every woman's dream--dark jeans that hugged him sinfully, golden-tanned skin contrasted by his white-fitted shirt, a black, wide-brimmed cowboy hat, and a smile that could send any woman on her knees. Not to mention a voice that coated your skin like silk sheets. I hated how much I noticed. "You're right, but I would like the honor anyway... ma'am." ********************* Meet Grace--living the city life, reserved, eager to please, loyal to a fault.
