Montana Blue — Hildie McQueen

Amidst deceit and betrayal, Mitch and Bethany will have to fight for their own perfect destiny.

Although not the life Mitch Banks envisioned, as the shopkeeper and owner of Alder Gulch's mercantile, it's not until Bethany Jones comes into town that he questions his fate and dependence on alcohol.

Bethany Jones hopes the trip west with her parents means a closer relationship. Instead she becomes a pawn in an unexpected plot and realizes an idyllic bond with them is not in her future.
