Road to the Mansfield
An Express Investigations Prequel

Three stories. One destination.
A
swamp rat-turned lady, a hotshot southern attorney, and a small-town
dreamer endure life’s cruel twists on the way to Hollywood’s
swanky Mansfield Supper Club.
Louisiana,
1927. A
brutal fate sweeps seventeen-year-old Francie Roubideaux from the
Louisiana bayou to the iron rule of Miss Claire in New Orleans. She
survives using her daddy’s wits and mama’s grace, but fickle
fortune isn’t done with her yet….
Illinois,
1937. Rose
Donovan’s dreary small-town life takes a turn when a New York City
music man whisks her away to Hollywood. But soon she’s torn between
addictive passion and another man’s arms…and more than Rose’s
heart is on the line.
Georgia,
1936. A
rising star on the Atlanta legal circuit, Beau Hartwell is the envy
of every lawyer in the city…until his past desperately comes to
call. Can big-city Beau handle backwoods justice, or will the case
break more than his career?
In
one fateful night, their worlds collide in ways no one saw coming…

CB had been threatening to write the Mansfield stories for twelve years after being inspired by the Reba McEntire video for ‘Because of You.’ In 2020, she finally birthed the books. (Thank you, COVID) The Mansfield books launched The Express Investigations Series.
After bouncing around the country, CB settled in Phoenix for twenty years but now connects to wi-fi in Texas. She lives with her seven-pound Yorkie, Benji, who rules her life with an iron paw.
