Book excerpt: "A sweet, small-town romance that will take you on an emotional roller coaster of tears and laughter." Spoiled yet broken-hearted New York ballet dancer meets gorgeous, kind-hearted southern gentleman. Cadence Lewis believes that all men are like her father: cold, unloving, and selfish. Good thing Barrick Carpenter doesn't fit into this mold. Barrick makes Candace's life eventful from the time she stepped onto her Grandma’s farm in Delight, a small town in North Carolina. After witnessing Cadence's heart shattering into a million pieces, can Barrick put it back together and show Cadence that everyone isn't like her father? Can he convince her to trust him and let love in? **Tutus & Cowboy Boots Screenplay adaption is a 2020 Big Apple Film & Screenplay Competition Semi-Finalist**
