After the death of his wife, prosperous businessman Chance Boden heads west along the Santa Fe Trail with his son to escape the powerful control of his in-laws. He has plans to establish his own ranch, but instead he finds work with Frank Chastain, owner of a vast amount of land. Chance doesn't want to work for anyone, but Frank's beautiful daughter, Veronica, gives him reason to delay buying his own holdings. With winter coming, no home in which to live, and Veronica's offer to care for young Cole while Chance learns the ways of ranching in the desert, Chance has little choice but to accept the Chastains' offer to stay on. When Frank is attacked, his last wish is that Chance marry his daughter, but after dealing with his in-laws, Chance doesn't want anyone coming between him and his son. Then, before Frank dies, his precarious hold on the land he received as part of an old Spanish Land Grant forces him to make a desperate choice to save Veronica's inheritance--and also gives the men who attacked Frank a reason to come after his legacy.

The Boden Birthright is the PREQUEL to Mary Connealy’s new series The Cimarron Legacy. It was written to give you a bit of the history of the parents. There are story lines that are not completed in this book but are meant to get you interested enough to read the rest of the series.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book as I have every single book that I have read of Mary’s. The characters are unique and interesting, the plot is believable and as always there is some of Mary’s unique humor (snort coffee through your nose, laugh out loud, pee your pants). Chance Boden escapes from his controlling in-laws with his four year old son by going west. He finds some land he is interested in and talks to Frank Chastain to see if there is any land nearby for him to buy. He ends up working with Frank and meeting his daughter, Veronica Chastain. Veronica immediately falls in love with the four year old Cole.
One example of Mary’s humor revolves around Cole telling Veronica about the time he walked into his parents’ bedroom during a private moment. I won’t totally spoil it for you.
I saw other reviews that didn’t like the length of the story, unfinished story lines, etc. but as I said, it’s a prequel and sets up the series for you. I think you could read the series without reading this book but would recommend readings it to get the background info. Love Mary’s books and looking forward to the series.
