You Can't Build a Herd with 4 Steers, Even in Texas

Their handsome neighbor, Boudreau Buckalew, a Texas Ranger working undercover, policing people and drug smuggling across the Mexican border comes to their aid more than once. Cassie, a career elementary teacher, falls head over heels and for the first time ever considers giving up her teaching career.

Next, they run into Tex Barton, a giant of a man with a heart as big as Texas, and a building contractor who agrees to do some work on the old house. He hires Ronny to be his helper. Ronny stumbles across a business opportunity she never dreamed she would have, sees her future in Texas after all and stops planning to return to New York.

Add to the sisters' culture shock is the ever-present atmosphere of drugs and people smuggling, the unexplained disappearance of food from the kitchen and a strange encounter in the house with smuggled women who appear out of thin air. In a thrilling but chaotic end, the sisters accidentally solve the mystery.
