Montana Snowfall is a historical "Western" Romance that was sweet, and the plot and motivations appropriate, but also has a lot of extra drama about the entire family that asks you to read the entire series in order for maximum enjoyment.
Sally Stanford had to leave St. Louis. She was raped by her married boss, the newspaper editor, and she's now pregnant, but not showing yet. She went west to "visit" her sister and her husband. But her stagecoach was damaged en route and she was tasked to seek help, and got lost, and she stumbled into a snow cabin and almost froze to death, only to be saved by Roady Guthrie, foreman of the McCutcheon ranch, who was out for his own reasons... Hunting a giant bear only known as "The Behemoth". The snowstorm stranded them together, and Roady fell in love. Sally would love to have a family with Roady, but she hadn't told anyone that secret... And when there was no other alternative, Sally asked Roady to marry her in a marriage of convenience, knowing that the child was not his, only to preserve her honor. But will she realize that he will do anything for her?
The summary above is the main plot but there were several subplots, such as an orphan kid in town kinda adopted by the McCutcheon clan, lots of brothers and their wives, the towns folks, and so on, that at times you almost forgot about Sally and Roady. Those who like the entire family saga will no doubt enjoy the extra bits.
