A mini-series trilogy set within the award-winning Montana Sky Series by Debra Holland, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author.

Curmudgeonly Brian Bly’s hermit life is just the way he likes it—his own snug cabin isolated in the mountains by Montana’s Three Bend Lake—with two good neighbors, who always have his back, one raising a sweet little girl to dote on, and no other people, especially women, around to interact with. His dime novels sell well, and his eastern publisher eagerly awaits the next one. The only problem… Brian’s once-vivid imagination has dried up, becoming more parched than a desiccated bone in an arid desert. His solution… Join the sheriff’s posse riding out after the McCurdy gang who robbed the bank, killing one deputy, injuring the bank clerk, and terrorizing the citizens of Sweetwater Springs.

But… Brian is shot playing the noble hero—not the plot development he’d envisioned.

After accomplishing the first part of her plan to convince her aunt Rose to move from New York to Sweetwater Springs and live with Rose’s former beau, Cora Collier needs to work on part two—following her dream of becoming a nurse. The only problem… No one will take the lovely, vivacious young woman’s career choice seriously. Her solution… nurse Brian Bly, the hero of the shootout at the outlaws’ hideout, back to health.

But… Brian, even grumpier from pain and disability, doesn’t want anything to do with being cared for by a nurse. He just wants to retreat, sort through his experiences to craft his next book, while, somehow, magically, healing on his own. Until well-meaning meddlers foist a woman, on him—the worst kind of woman, a pretty, far-too-smart one, whose stubbornness matches his own.
