Wishbone, Texas is a contemporary western romance series set in a small fictional Texas town, marking a departure from Ann B. Harrison’s more common Australian outback settings. The four books, published between 2020 and 2022, follow different residents of Wishbone through romantic storylines tied to the town and its community. The titles, Texas Cowboy, Texas Healer, Texas Lawman, and Texas Crooner, signal the professions and identities of the male protagonists in each book.
Harrison uses the small-town Texas setting to access familiar western romance conventions: rugged landscapes, tight-knit communities, and men defined by traditional roles who find their emotional lives complicated by the women who enter their world. The series follows the genre pattern of introducing readers to a community through the first book and then deepening their knowledge of that world through subsequent entries.
Each book focuses on a new romance while maintaining the Wishbone community as a consistent backdrop. Readers who enjoy the small-town romance subgenre, particularly with western and country settings, are the primary audience. The books can be read independently, though reading in order allows the town and its residents to build up in the reader’s mind.
