Heaven to Betsy: Emily, Book 1

From the best-selling and award-winning author of the Katie & Annalise books comes a spin-off series! Heaven to Betsy features Emily, Katie’s stateside best friend, in her own hilarious adventures.

When a dead body swan dives from a balcony into the pool at a wedding, gossip about disgraced paralegal and former rodeo queen Emily – whose husband left her for a woman who’s really a man – comes to a halt.

Enter Jack, a secretive attorney who is a sexy mix of cowboy and Indian. Emily refuses to work for him until she learns about the disappearance of the six-year-old daughter of his notorious client, Sofia, the wedding shooter, who is also an illegal immigrant.

Emily feels a strange affinity for the girl and launches a desperate search for her. Bodies pile up across Texas and New Mexico in her wake, as the walls around her own secrets begin to crumble, and the authorities question whether the child is anything but a figment of her imagination.

See why Pamela Fagan Hutchins’ novels have won contest after contest. A former attorney and native Texan from Amarillo, who spent 10 years in the Caribbean, Pamela splits her time between Houston and a little place called Nowheresville.
