I wonder if it was something I said, because that tadpole I found in the pond, that should have turned into a frog about a month ago, is all of the sudden growing his legs. Maybe it was the public humiliation that caused him to “Frog Up” and move out of the baby pond. All of his brothers and sisters have moved on (probably in the mouths of a birds, but that counts) and it is time for him to get out in the world and see what life has to offer. Speaking of life… where is that little fish?

Tessa O’Connor lives in a world of privilege and excess.Her doting parents want her to make a good match with a worthy gentleman and live a respectable life.She is beautiful and intelligent and she comes with a hefty dowry.There is no reason that she shouldn’t be able to find an eligible man and settle down.

One man on the list catches her eye and she begins corresponding with him, eventually agreeing to go to Montana to meet him.She can’t resist the possibility of finding someone different and even if she doesn’t, the adventure itself would be worth her time.Tessa makes a successful escape and sets out to make a new life in Montana.

When Dean and Tessa meet, sparks fly between the two strong willed people.Tessa is disappointed that Dean isn’t the romantic, sophisticated man she was lead to believe he was in the letters she received.Dean is aggravated that she isn’t a meek woman who is easily managed.Never mind the fact that she has no idea of how to take care of children and keep a home.

Dean and Tessa struggle to find common ground and make their marriage work.Will they each take the risk and open their hearts to one another?Can their marriage survive and will they find love and contentment in each other?Their future happiness hangs in the balance under the Montana skies.
