Half A Wit And Twice Removed

di Shane P Miller (Autore)

Shane P Miller, 2026

Tobe Rattleford rides into Pryor Bend broke, hungry, and already known by reputation as half a wit and twice removed. All he expects from town is a meal, a place to sleep, and maybe enough work to keep his horse from judging him. Instead, he inherits the ugliest chair in Oklahoma from Verna Rattleford—a dead woman nobody should have underestimated. The chair is crooked, uncomfortable, and worth more than it looks. Powerful ranchman Silas Quill wants it. His lawyer wants it. The mayor wants it quiet. And before long, Tobe learns the chair may hold proof of stolen land, missing deeds, water rights, false debts, burned wagons, and a crossing that could decide whether small ranchers, freight haulers, and Black families along Freeman Road survive. Then there is Nellie Mae Crowder. Proud, sharp, beautiful, and steady as a locked door, Nellie Mae runs Crowder House with clean ledgers, hard rules, and no patience for foolish men. Tobe talks crooked, works honest, and hides more sense than most men ever notice. She sees through him anyway. As danger tightens around the town, Tobe and Nellie Mae become partners in more than trouble. Their love grows through work, wit, courage, restraint, and the kind of truth neither law nor gossip can sweeten. In a time when the world refuses to honor what their hearts know, they must decide whether a vow before God is stronger than permission from men. With Verna's chair creaking judgment, Cora Bell ruling the kitchen, a duck and mule bearing witness, and a whole town learning what truth costs, Half a Wit and Twice Removed is a Western comedy-romance about courage, chosen love, and the uncomfortable chair that made liars stand up straight.
