The Heart of Texas series is set in Promise, a small town in the Texas Hill Country. Each of the eight books follows a different resident finding love: Lonesome Cowboy, Texas Two-Step, Caroline’s Child, Dr. Texas, Nell’s Cowboy, and Lone Star Baby all arrived in 1998.
Promise, Texas (1999) brought readers back for another visit, and Return to Promise (2008) closed the series a decade later. Debbie Macomber’s warmth and skill with community settings make Promise feel like a real place.
