I intended Kees Butler to be a character off the program, “Mountain Men”, so if you’re a fan of the show and see the resemblance, that’s awesome. He isn’t any one of the men, however, but a lot of them all rolled together with a dash of the romance style I’m known for.
Be sure to look for Malcolm’s story in Book 3. I deliberately left his relationship with Brenna unended. And, of course, there will be a love interest. You won’t want to miss it.
Note: The Bible translation referred to in Scene 2 of Chapter 6 is the J.B. Phillips, and the verse is Ephesians 2:8. The poem Kees Butler quoted in Chapters 2 and 7 is *Give Me The Splendid Silent Sun” by Walt Whitman and is in the Public Domain.

If you enjoyed this story, look for Book 3.
He deserved better than he’d allowed himself to have. He deserved to smile and laugh, and going deeper than simple contentment, he deserved to fall in love. To burn for a woman and have her ache for him in return. He deserved to be in love, and he longed to make love.
But what if he was too old and washed up? What if no woman anywhere would look twice at him because he refused to leave Montana?
——-
Malcolm Stratton’s wife walked out on him years ago, and his perfect life collapsed. Left with the care of their independent-minded daughter and running his large Montana ranch, he’s given up any hope at happiness, much less finding love again.
Sierra Trask came to Montana to find quiet time and write a book. Yet the beauty of the land and the generosity of her host are marred by his depression and his constant fights with his daughter.
Taking it on herself to mediate a particularly loud battle, she volunteers to travel south with him to buy a cow. Yet, his reason for insisting on the trip and her reason for volunteering, add sparks to their already growing attraction, and when he meets with an unplanned accident, nothing, it seems, will stop them from falling in love.
