Juliana's Journey by Brenda Clemmons with Katie Wyatt
Starts with a note to the reader from the author about the Wild West and romance.
Listing of other book in the series is listed.
1993 Colorado, we had just visited last May for the first time and fell in love with the area and things to do.
Juliana is back in town and runs into the man who runs the local store, Kyle. He shows her around town and gets her settled in.
She arrives home to her parents house that she had stormed out of when she was just out of high school. She finds her father in bed and he's dying.
She doesn't even know how to care for him but her sister and mother are there. She had not realized he had gotten so much more worse that she feared.
She has to make amends with her mother and they do, over time, to a point.
After the funeral she learns that others want the family land and she has plans for it-a diner where her mother and herself could run it.
She comes from working at her cafe in Alaska and has had restaurants all over the US and knows what will work.
Like this short story for the area itself and the sweet cute story line.
Sample from the next book is also included:Building Bailey's.
Other series listings are highlighted at the end along with about the authors.

Starts where the last book left off: Julianna and her mother have met with the designer.
They talk to a designer but don't realize he's tied up with another con artist. They learn in time and are able to capitalize on their ideas...
The town folk get to vote on what will happen with Main Street. Love that a tourist that is also a builder has heard what he had to say about the land....
So much is involved with permits and designs and getting the work done for the diner.... she's still friendly with Kyle also and they find their niche together.
