About this ebook

Single mom, Maggie Brady lives above the Filler Up Diner in River Junction, Montana. When fire destroys the business Maggie built, her good friend Jed Steel is there to help them escape from the harrowing flames. Except, the fire wasn't an accident. It was arson. Reluctantly, Maggie accepts the temporary home Jed offers, unsure why anyone would threaten her or her teenage daughter, Susie.

Tall, lanky, with a rolling gait, a salt and pepper mustache, and a quirky sense of humor, Jed is the primary caretaker of the horses at Grace Star Ranch. Disowned by his family, the cowboy has also had a soft spot for Maggie for a long time. However, he's never felt worthy of a woman like Maggie. How could she fall for somebody like him when his own family doesn't want him?

During their stay at the ranch, Jed teaches Susie to ride and helps her to develop into a talented barrel racer. And while Maggie has only seen Jed as a friend before, the moonlight over Montana is close to convincing her to take a second chance on love. But someone is watching Susie - someone who could use Susie's talent if only Maggie wasn't in the way. Will the secret that Susie's keeping destroy Maggie and Jed's romance before it has a chance to begin?

Ratings and reviews

Cowboys of River Junction: Moonlight Over Montana, #3 - Another well written, funny, romantic, family oriented story filled with a great cast of characters. There is some intrigue and a bit of nasty happening but the law is there. Recommend reading all the books in order, foundation building and community involvement. Source: Booksprout. 5* Stars Over Montana, #1 - My first read by this author. Although the repetition about their break up from the past got on my nerves, the story is a sweet, interesting second chance for two people that deserve each other. 4* Hiding in Montana, #2 - A sweet romantic, dramatic addition to the Stars Over Montana series. Enjoyable with the romance and the intrigue. 5* Cowboys of River Junction end. Marie: Always A Bridesmaid - 5* Sugar Plum Inn - 4* Holiday Heart Wishes - 4* A Secret Santa Christmas - 5* A Bookstore Cozy Mystery Series: Books and Bribes, #1 Catnaps & Crimes, #2 Tea & Trouble, #3

Maggie is so stubborn after an arsonist burns down her diner and home and Jed barely rescues her and her teenage daughter Susie in time. She keeps saying she doesn’t want handouts and wants control over things she needs to let others handle. Jed has been attracted to Maggie for years and after she kisses him he finally gets the courage to ask her out. But Susie is acting strange and there were several red flags they should have asked her about but then that added to the suspense in the story.
