When her marriage came to a devastating end, Janice Meyers moved to Montana to try to escape her past and get a fresh start. She’ s sworn off men, but she didn’ t anticipate meeting Chris.
After the death of his wife, Chris Jamisen focused all his time and energy on running his auto repair shop and raising his children. He’ s not looking for love, and when he first meets Janice, the town’ s new librarian, he never imagines they might embark on a relationship. Sure, he’ ll admit he finds the smart, sexy blonde attractive, but the frustrating woman expects miracles from him. Her vehicle is practically beyond repair, but she insists he has to keep it running.
As Chris gets to know Janice, he begins to develop feelings for her, but he’ s reluctant to pursue a relationship. He’ s Native American, and he worries about the complications of a biracial relationship.
When Janice’ s ex-husband shows up seeking revenge, things could reach a horrible end. Will Chris save Janice in time?
Review ***** Book Lover Sue Wrote:“ This is such a well written and emotional story that I became engrossed in the characters’ struggles to develop a loving relationship while overcoming their pasts, and I recommend it to lovers of sweeter romances who enjoy a blend of drama, humor and suspense mixed in to create a beautiful story.” https:// www. amazon. com / review / R3OSXNS5HYIXV7
Chris really didn’ t want to take time out of his busy schedule to drive down there to take a look.“ I’ ll have Tony bring it in.”“ Another tow charge? Can’ t you go and look for yourself and, you know, fix the damn thing?” He could, but after the way she’ d just spoken to him, he decided he wouldn’ t.“ No, I’ m quite busy right now,” he said as his temper flared. He was trying to help her, but it seemed that she didn’ t believe that. She walked to the door, then turned around and asked him,“ What happened to the horn?” He looked at her blankly with his eyebrows raised.“ What about your horn?” Even as the words left his mouth, he knew it was a mistake to ask“ It was working fine when I got to Colstrip, but now it doesn’ t work!”“ Probably the damn thing rusted off and is laying alongside the road,” Chris muttered under his breath.“ What did you say?” She looked back at him with a flash of anger in her eyes.“ Nothing.” He really didn’ t know what the hell happened to the horn. She regarded him coolly.“ You probably took it off and never put it back on.”“ Now why would I do something like that?” he asked her irritably. He was starting to really get angry with her, but he held himself in check.“ I don’ t know, maybe you have a horn fetish or something.”“ I don’ t know what happened to your horn, but if you want me to put one on I will.”“ No, that’ s okay. I don’ t need it.” She turned and walked out the door. He looked after her, exasperated. He shook his head as he walked back to his office for a second to cool off.
