Bitter Creek Romance (The Whispering Winds of Montana Book 4)

When old enemies become unlikely allies, love finds a way to heal the deepest wounds.

In 1870 Montana Territory, the McKenna and Callahan families have been locked in a bitter feud for a decade—ever since a tragic fire claimed young Danny Callahan’s life and drove Dusty McKenna into exile. Now, with both ranches facing financial ruin and an early winter threatening their survival, the prodigal son returns home to find everything he left behind crumbling to dust.
Julia Callahan has spent ten years trying to forget the man she once loved, the man whose reckless actions destroyed her family. Forced into an engagement to a wealthy businessman who can save her father’s ranch, she’s resigned herself to a marriage of convenience—until Dusty McKenna rides back into her life with a desperate proposal that could save them all.
A joint cattle drive. Nine hundred head of cattle. Two hundred miles of treacherous frontier. And only one chance to reach the railhead before winter closes the mountain passes forever.
But the trail ahead is fraught with more than just natural dangers. Rustlers, sabotage, and a vindictive rival threaten to destroy everything they’re fighting for. As Dusty and Julia are forced to work together, old passions reignite and buried secrets surface, challenging everything they thought they knew about love, loyalty, and forgiveness.
Can two feuding families unite to save their legacy? Can a love that survived ten years of separation overcome the ghosts of the past? And when the final choice comes between duty and desire, will Julia have the courage to follow her heart?
Set against the sweeping backdrop of the Montana Territory, The Bitter Creek Romance is a tale of second chances, family loyalty, and the healing power of love. Perfect for fans of historical western romance who love strong heroines, redemptive heroes, and the timeless struggle between love and duty.

Get ready for a cattle drive that will change everything.
