Foreword

Dear Readers,

Thank you for reading Gambling on a Secret. This is the first book of The Colton Gamblers and will take you to Colton, Texas, a little town about 7o miles south of Dallas. Here the gossip chain is known as the Colton Grapevine and the mayor’s wife is the queen at collecting the grapes that grow on it. And there are plenty of backdoor dealings and secrets to go around–and maybe even an occasional murder, too.

But don’t worry, Colton is full of good, solid folks and enough tough, sexy cowboys and women strong enough to love them to make sure good has a fair chance at always winning...

Love,

Sara

The Colton Gamblers

In 1865, three disillusioned first cousins return from the battlefields of the defeated South to find their home in East Texas a shambles. Determined to make a new start, they head west. In the cowboy town of Dallas, Texas, they decide to pool the few silver dollars they have between them and enter into a poker game. With their gamble, they win over 100,000 acres of good grassland in Central Texas. Over the next century and a half, their descendents build a fortune in cattle and oil, but as time goes by, greed erodes their family bond.

These are the stories of the eighth generation gambling on love and bringing back the bond of family…
