Cottonwood Crossing

A stolen piece of Texas land. A crooked survey. And a dangerous enemy who will stop at nothing to take it.

When Eldridge Sample finally begins to believe he has found a place worth staying, trouble comes riding up the road to Pawnee Creek.

Wren Calloway and her children have built a life on a hard-won parcel along the creek, working the land and putting the past behind them. But the land has attracted the attention of powerful men who see something more valuable than a family homestead.

A shell company files a competing claim.

Then a man arrives carrying federal credentials and a surveyor's equipment, claiming he's there to establish the true boundaries of the property.

But Eldridge knows something isn't right.

The surveyor isn't working for the federal government.

He's working for a powerful Texas attorney named Hoke Lattrell, a man with a history of stealing land through fraudulent claims, shell companies, and legal maneuvering. Behind Lattrell stands an even bigger operation—one that has already driven other families from their homes.

And this time, Wren Calloway refuses to move.

With a federal investigation hanging in the balance, a massive storm threatening to flood the roads, and the fraudulent survey racing toward the county recorder's office, Eldridge must cross a flooded Texas frontier to stop the land grab before it becomes permanent.

Then the enemy changes tactics.

The legal battle becomes a fight for survival.

With outlaws closing in, guns drawn, witnesses in danger, and Wren's children caught in the middle, Eldridge discovers that defending a piece of land means defending everything that has been built on it.

Because some men steal land with lawyers.

Others come with guns.

And when they finally come for Cottonwood Crossing, they'll find a family that has learned how to fight back.
