Romance Historical

Blue Moon, Montana, Spring 1919. Dr. Kristin Dollarhide went away to medical school ten years ago. She’s just returned home after becoming a doctor and then going to war to treat the wounded. Kristin had always wanted to come home to practice medicine. Logan Hunter went away to war, only to come home to find his entire family died of the Spanish flu. He decided to go live near the only family he had left in Montana. Logan is only looking for peace. A drought, an impending range war and two families who hate each may just lead to the answer to some type of peace.

Janet Dailey’s latest book in the Calder Brand series, A CALDER AT HEART continues the stories of the Calder and Dollarhide families as they build their empires. Two people who are dealing with grief and the aftereffects of the Great War (WWI) are looking to begin a new life as they adjust and find that their problems may take a back seat to life in the Montana territory. 

In the wilderness of Montana, two warring families fight for dominance in the wild west. Kristin Dollarhide is a doctor who wants to help the people in her hometown. Logan Hunter is a former war officer looking for peace. An impending range war, a drought, and a love triangle figure into the drama of A CALDER AT HEART. Drama, suspense, rival families, and a criminal element keeps the reader entertained. This is a historical romance that takes a trip through the lives of rival families who are the second generation of settlers in the wild west.

SUMMARY

America’s frontier comes to vivid life in this inspiring saga of love, hope and endurance in 1919 Montana, as the end of the Great War, the looming start of Prohibition, and reignited rivalries put the town of Blue Moon on the brink of a seismic shift. Perfect for fans of Yellowstone and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, Janet Dailey blends a Romeo & Juliet romance with all the intense drama, historical detail, and grand sweep of her original New York Times bestselling Calder series.

Battle-scarred and emotionally ravaged by the loss of his wife and children to Spanish flu, former US Army Major Logan Hunter heads to Blue Moon to salvage whatever peace he can near the only family he has left. Not only does the Calder clan embrace him, but patriarch Webb Calder helps Logan secure a prime piece of ranching property. Yet settling into his new home is fraught with challenges, especially since Logan’s land borders the rival Dollarhide spread, stoking the battle between the families anew and pitting Logan against an adversary who stirs him like no other . . .

From her first encounter with Logan Hunter, Dr. Kristin Dollarhide feels an instant connection to the sorrow in his beautiful eyes. As a former military MD, Kristin is no stranger to the devastating effects the war has left on hearts and minds—including her own. Despite her instinct to steer clear, Kristin is powerfully drawn to the handsome widower. Until the raging conflict takes a tragic turn, threatening all hope for their future . . .
