From the Author
Celebrating romance is fun, but when we found out it was the state of Montana’s 125th anniversary and the capital city, Helena, is also celebrating the 150th anniversary of incorporating, well, what better setting to tell a romantic story at Christmastime?

From the Inside Flap
Albert flipped open his pocket watch. She’d be expected any second as one of the last competitors. He looked up the stairs — and there she stood. The light from the chandeliers shimmered off her gown creating an ethereal glow that sparkled around her entire being. His heartbeat picked up speed as if a trolley ran out of control on a hill without brakes.
Calista saw Albert and rewarded him with a smile that slammed into his heart with an electric zap as if that trolley had just jumped the tracks. His feet carried him to her with a mind of their own. “You cannot imagine how beautiful you are to me.” Albert whispered.
