(Billy Bob Holland) Doubleday, 1999
Heartwood finds attorney and former Texas Ranger Billy Bob Holland defending luckless ex-bullrider Wilbur Pickett, who has been accused of stealing from Earl Dietrich, the wealthiest man in Deaf Smith, Texas.
Billy Bob has his own history with Earl's wife, Peggy; they were briefly an item shortly after he graduated from high school, and he has carried a torch for her ever since. These old feelings make him reluctant to get involved in the case, but as a rising tide of deceit and violence begins to threaten not only Wilbur Pickett and his wife, but Billy Bob's loved ones as well, he finds he has no choice.
