Montana Legacy

February 15, 2010
The death of their grandfather brings the three estranged McCord cousins back together at the sprawling Lost Nugget ranch. If they each want to inherit a third of the vast land holdings, they must continue the search for the lost gold that had obsessed their eccentric grandfather for years. Surprisingly, they agree, setting the stage for some hilarious banter and lively male bonding. But Jesse, who runs the ranch, has more serious things on his mind. Amy Parrish, the daughter of his grandfather's bitterest enemy and the love of his teenage years, has returned, too, and as their old feelings flare, danger threatens Amyor is it Jesse whom the bad guy is after? VERDICT Heart-melting sensuality and rowdy but loving family interactions warm the pages of this engaging story that skillfully refreshes a classic trilogy pattern and sets the stage for the stories to come. Also writing as Ruth Ryan Langan, the author lives in the Detroit area.
