Hero's Return

“The heartwarming romance gets wrapped up here, but the book ends with a cliffhanger that is sure to have fans anxious for the next title in the series.”

—Library Journal on Lucky Shot

“Forget slow-simmering romance: the multiple story lines weaving in and out of Big Timber, Montana, mean the second Montana Hamiltons contemporary...is always at a rolling boil.”

—Publishers Weekly on Lone Rider

“[The Montana Hamiltons] should definitely be on the must-read list... A great introduction for new readers to this amazing author.”

—Fresh Fiction on Wild Horses

No one knows how to fish walleyes better than friend, fishing buddy and fellow Twilight Zone fan Mike Larson. This one is for you and your lovely wife, Elizabeth. We enjoy having the two of you in our lives.

THE OLD FOOTBRIDGE creaked and groaned under her weight as she made her way in the darkness to the center where the water would be the deepest. She could hear the roar of the creek rushing beneath her, but she tried not to think about what she was about to do.
