The Long Road Home

Krissy Swenson, a young, vibrant woman living on the fringes of roaring Chicago life, has for her entire upbringing resisted any ideal that would keep her tethered to the family farm. Engaged to an up-and-coming lawyer with a powerful charm, her induction into the affluent society she aspires to is well under way, when suddenly, she finds herself traveling across the country-exchanging city life for rugged Montana, a sister who may not be pleased to see her, and a determined man who won't leave her alone. Leif Hawkins is devilment with a halo. A jack-of-all trades Montanan, he plans to spend the cold, winter months at a logging camp high in the mountains instead of at the sprawling cattle ranch he shares with his brother, but when Krissy shows up at the homestead, carrying a chip on her shoulder and a dark secret in her heart, Leif can't resist the urge to bully her into happiness. Facing a stormy, western winter and a loss that will change her family forever, will Krissy find the strength to open her heart, confide and forgive, before the past catches up to her and the life she never thought she wanted slips away.
