Tragedy brought them together

All Alex wanted was to be left alone on his new ranch so he could have a second chance with his daughter, Hallie–to make a better life for them, far away from the city and the senseless shooting that had changed everything. But he can't turn his back on his neighbor Caitlin Kramer, a woman struggling to recover from her own shattered past. It hardly seems possible that any good can come from so much bad.

But for Hallie and for themselves, Alex and Caitlin have to try.


Book 17

Man from Montana

Published 1 September 2006

Tragedy strikes without warning. Just like love.

Nothing, not even the beauty of Montana' s big-sky country, can make up for the one reckless mistake Derrick made twelve years ago. And so he buries himself in raising his son, his only outlet the poignant country songs he writes and plays at the local bar.

Until he meets Kara Tillman. Widowed at just twentynine and caring for her mother-in-law, Kara teaches him that grief doesn' t have to be all-consuming. That tragedy can be overcome and wounds healed. That life is about risk...and happiness is worth the stakes. Too bad Kara hasn' t learned that lesson herself.

So maybe it' s time for the pupil to become the teacher. Or, in this case, the sexy country singer to show the young widow that love can strike the same person twice.
