Three years in Rhode Island and two years just outside of Boston.

This first book in the series concerns a young woman who makes an impetuous but bold decision to move from Boston to Montana in the hopes of saving her teenage brother—the only family she has in the world—from a life of crime. Her journey to a new, peaceful life in the rural community encounters a few bumps and road blocks along the way, the biggest impediment being a rugged widower rancher who is none too pleased that an “outsider” has purchased the one piece of property he and his family have been coveting for generations. It’s a battle of wills set against the backdrop of a small town with a delightful and charming cast of characters.
