THE WEST TEXANS Welcome back to West Texas--and the Parker Ranch! There's a rebel in every family--even the Parkers. Jodie Parker has been resisting her family heritage since birth, even going so far as to briefly run off with a no-account cowboy named Rio. Still, after five years of college, then a year spent gallivanting around Europe, Jodie's come home.... Which leaves the Parkers with an age-old problem: How are they going to keep Jodie down on the "farm" after she's seen "Paree"? A certain Texas lawman may be the answer. Jodie's been a thorn in Sheriff Tate Connelly's side for years. Now he's got two choices. He can arrest her for aiding and abetting a wanted man, her ex-lover, Rio. Or he can help her prove Rio's innocence--but on one condition. That Jodie settle down once and for all. In the arms of the law!
