Colonel Joe Bishop made a promise, and he’s going to keep it: taking the captured alien starship Flying Dutchman back out. He doesn’t agree when the UN decides to send almost 70 elite Special Operations troops, hotshot pilots, and scientists with him; the mission is a fool’s errand he doesn’t expect to ever return from. At least this time, the Earth is safe, right?
Not so much.
Y Knot, Montana Territory, 1886
When Roady Guthrie, longtime foreman for the McCutcheon ranch, takes time off to go bear hunting, he never expects to find a young woman asleep in his hunting cabin in the midst of a snowstorm. Worried what their unchaperoned situation will do to her reputation, Roady is uneasy when the snowfall keeps them stranded – just long enough for him to lose his heart.
Sally Stanford has a secret – one that sent her running from St. Louis to Y Knot and into the arms of her sister. A secret that would shatter Roady’s high opinion of her if he knew. When Sally realizes her plan is doomed to fail, she turns to the only man she trusts.
Continue the McCutcheon family saga in Montana Snowfall, book seven of the McCutcheon Family Series, a heartfelt Western historical romance by USA Today best-selling author Caroline Fyffe.
