Montana – Present Day 

Wealthy rancher Nick Hartmann recently became the guardian of his sixteen-year-old niece, Alix, and hires, sight unseen, Oxford University graduate Mary Kelly to be the tutor. He expected Mary to be studious and plain, but to his surprise, she is beautiful and sexy. With the rest of his family pressuring him to sell the ranch, he can’t afford to get involved with the tutor. Between trying to keep his hands off Mary and trying to win the trust of Alix, Nick is having a difficult time keeping his concentration on the ranch. 

Rose Kelly is pretending to be her beloved sister Mary who died a month ago. It is Mary who was the Oxford graduate. Rose wants to honor her sister by earning enough money from the tutoring job to help children in need. Since Nick contacted Mary about the job and specified that he wanted someone with an Oxford University degree, she must go through with this ruse. However, Rose didn’t anticipate that she would be attracted to her boss. Finally giving in to their mutual attraction, they soon are making love. But how will Nick react when he learns that Rose has lied to him? 

MONTANA LEGACY takes readers to the majestic state of Montana and the Hartmann family ranch. Nick is the only one interested in keeping the ranch as his sisters and late brother, Jackson, wanted to sell. But with Jackson’s death, Nick is given custody of the parentless Alix, who is sullen and not happy about being with her uncle. Nick is faced with the task of winning Alix’s trust and getting her educated. He figures a top-notch Oxford-educated tutor would do the trick. He just didn’t expect to find himself attracted to the tutor. 

Rose knows she has to be careful not to be found out, especially since she doesn’t have the smarts as her sister did. However, she soon gains the trust of Alix and the attention of Nick. The man is deliciously attractive, and she makes the first move, though she isn’t sure where it will lead. After all, she is lying to him about her identity. But it doesn’t stop her from being in his bed. Meanwhile, Rose continues her plan to honor her sister. Will she achieve what she wants? Readers suspect that the truth will come out. There is also Nick’s family and his niece’s aunt on her mother’s side who is making noise about suing for custody. If he loses custody, then he may lose the ranch. 

An intriguing and emotional tale, MONTANA LEGACY will have readers falling in love with Rose and Nick. They have a vulnerability that’s endearing, and we want to see them have a happily-ever-after. Be sure to pick up a copy today.
