Snowed in with the Rancher by Mary Sue Jackson
This story start with Olivia and she's on a cruise. She meets Tate and they spend a lot of time together, adult situations. She has to leave one day after getting a message through the captain , a family emergency.
Next we hear from her she's arrived in Montana for a job that she's qualified for and has worked for years to obtain, as an administrator. She had tried to find Tate but didn't even know his last name nor where he lived.
Tate, after the cruise tried to find her with no luck, so heads back home to attend to the ranch and the services he performs for the town.
Olivia and her twin daughters are hiking before they head back to town, getting close to moving into their own house when she starts the job. One girl falls down a hill and Olivia falls right after her. Other joins them and they are no getting out by themselves. Lucikly search and rescue finds them a few hours later... It's Tate and she seems familiar to him.
Love how they plays out. How he finds out who the girls are to him, and they are able to talk to get to know one another again as he takes them in for several days. due to the storm.
They are able to iron out their differences and he helps her when it is time for them to move into their new house. Problem is it should be condemned with all the water damage so he takes them back to his house.
They know it won't work so she goes to his parents where they children can be watched while she's working. They start dating and start from day one to learn about one another.
Wonder if they will actually ever get back together again, the town is a gossipy one and everybody knows things before they are spoken.
Interesting read, unpredictable.
