He’s a local boy-turned-outsider. She’s a community leader wary of developers. How can they get past their differences to save the beauty of rural Montana, reconcile their family histories, and build a strong community and a trusting friendship (or more)?
Doris and Richard must sort out obscure family and water rights complications before they can even think about a relationship.
“Ranch Romance” is the working title for the romance novel I drafted during National Novel Writing Month in 2019 draft.
I’ve never written a romance novel before, although I did write an erotic romance novel for NaNoWriMo 2016. This draft definitely needs more “squishy stuff”! My friend Lisa and I plotted this romance on a previous visit to her ranch in Montana.
This image from the Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site is what I imagine Doris’s house on the original ranch property might look like.
