BIGFORK, Mont. - s4story -- Comments MK, "There is so much hope, love, and kindness for the Crooked Creek family to share with everyone. Emma, Hattie, Briley, and Clara have brought me tremendous joy, and I have loved sharing their stories with so many readers.

Despite coming from different backgrounds, Clara Stowe and Michael Donaghue have much in common. They found their way to Crooked Creek, one to find adventure and a new beginning and the other in search of family. They are not a typical pairing, but those are the ones I like best.

The women in this series are tender and strong, and the men are honorable and chivalrous. Together, they all find a way to overcome the obstacles life and the aftermath of war have thrust upon them."

Will two hearts find a way to leave the sorrows of war behind and embrace a future in Crooked Creek?

The war is over, though for some like Michael Donoghue, the four years of battles brought only death and misery. After returning home, he discovers his mother has passed and his sister is gone.

Clara Stowe and her daughter left behind painful memories and a life of comfort to make a beginning out west. When existence on the frontier proves to be more challenging than she imagined, Clara seeks the help of people she's come to love and a man who stirs within her an undeniable longing for a second chance.

As the holiday season approaches, Michael and Clara must find the courage to let go of the past, survive the present, and embrace a future neither envisioned.

Don't miss this stand-alone western, romantic adventure novel in MK McClintock's Crooked Creek series set in post-Civil War Montana Territory.
