There's a particular kind of romance that only works with wide-open land underneath it — a ranch that's been in a family for generations, a sky too big to argue with, and men who've learned to keep their feelings as fenced-in as their cattle. That's the world of my Montana series, and it's one of the small-town settings I keep coming back to.
Where it starts: Crooked Tree Ranch
Crooked Tree Ranch sets the stage for the whole series — second chances, redemption, hidden pasts, and the kind of healing that only happens once someone stops running and lets themselves be found. It's the book that introduces the ranch, the town, and the men who call it home, and it's the natural place to start if you're new to Montana.
It's also free: sign up for my newsletter and Crooked Tree Ranch is yours at no cost — no better way to find out if this is the kind of small-town MM romance you've been looking for.
Part of a bigger small-town world
Montana doesn't stand alone — it's one of six series I write that share the same DNA: ranches, rivalries, and the kind of town where everyone, eventually, finds their way home. Alongside Montana, that small-town cowboy cluster includes Texas, Whisper Ridge Wyoming, Ellery, Stanford Creek, and Oxford Knights. If you fall for one, there's a good chance you'll fall for the rest — the full lineup is laid out on the MM Romance Reading Order page under Small Town & Cowboy Romance.
