Do you believe in second sight? You know those legends or myths that some folk are born with very special talents, gifts some might say. Those that have them often question that description. Is it a gift to have visions or feelings that foretell of events that you have no control over? You may know they are coming but have no means to change the outcome or future.

In WYOMING WINTER both lead characters have some personal knowledge of these second sight issues. JC Calhoun's lineage includes Native Americans and he has been witness to many a fortune telling of sorts. Of course, naysayers discount all that as bunk, but in WYOMING WINTER we are sort of eye witnesses. Diana Palmer really enjoys bringing this element into the storyline of WYOMING WINTER. Just when we wonder what significance it will have Palmer reintroduces it along with a darling character. No more clues, you have to wait for it.

JC seems to have had his eye on his friend and former military buddy Rodney's sister Colie. Problem is JC makes assumptions that have no basis in fact, based more on his attitude and history with women in general. Then JC follows through with actions that have unfortunate consequences. In short, they could end any chance of a real solid relationship with Colie and put a kibosh on any future dreams.

Colie is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get kind of girl, no pretense, no act. Brought up by a minister father who expected certain behavior from his daughter. Colie was an extremely thoughtful, caring soul who wouldn't think of causing her father any embarrassment. Her brother Rodney followed a different life path since his return.

JC for some reason just can't accept the fact that Colie is an innocent, definitely inexperienced younger woman than she appears to be. His expectations are far above the truth. And because of that this relationship, friendship, whatever you choose to call it is doomed from the start. Colie has stars in her eyes and believes she can change JC but her father valiantly tries to warn her not to be foolish. But in the end, everyone makes their own choices and mistakes and perhaps regrets.

Hopefully, there is a happy ending for Colie but perhaps it won't have JC in it.

In WYOMING WINTER Diana Palmer takes us back to Jacobsville which as any fan knows is one of the kindest places on earth and filled with some of those most eclectic characters by far. But that is probably why a visit to this place is so wonderful. And I couldn't think of a better location for Colie to get her head on straight. The people of Jacobsville will definitely make Colie one of their own and that means she will be loved, cherished and cared for. Sure it will be difficult moving away from her father but life sometimes sets the road ahead. And for Colie, this move is essential on many fronts. It was just what Colie needed and deserved. WYOMING WINTER is another heartwarming yet challenging romance story by the master of small-town conflicts and love.
