The Red Rooster & Cocktails Christie Steffen

Soon to be a licensed attorney at law, Kit Myers has the world, and many of the men who inhabit it, in the palm of her hands. Or does she? Despite a childhood of poverty and neglect, Kit is determined to persevere. Waiting for her brother Red to return from war, their childhood friend, Tommy, stands close by Kit's side. The Red Rooster Saloon is a family treasure where Tommy tends bar and Kit finds her prey - the next man to conquer. Both take comfort in beauty and recreation of the Texas countryside at Refuge Ranch, while fighting life's most implicit war. The war within one's self. Their strength and love are tested by death and destruction, while Kit realizes she might not have complete control over her destiny and life forces Tommy to define his manhood. "The Red Rooster and Cocktails" questions gender norms while taking a close look at the personal journeys we take to find our true selves.
