Runaway in Riverbend Valley
She ran from heartbreak. What she found was a second chance she never saw coming…
Weeks before her wedding, Kate Dawson does the unthinkable, she leaves behind her dress, her job, and her fast-paced life in Bozeman, Montana and heads home to the one place she never thought she’d return: Thunder Creek Ranch in Riverbend Valley, Montana.
