Her Montana Cowboy (Jeannie Watt).

Jeannie Watt's "Her Montana Cowboy" is a story about Gus Hawkins, an experienced cowboy, and Lillie Hardaway, the new heiress of his home, who may or may not be as bad as he believes.

Gus is entrusted with overseeing the care of her property, but when Lillie inherits half of it he finds himself struggling to keep his head above water. How could she possibly grasp the complexities of ranching or the intimidating nature of the open country?

But as he struggles to unravel the intricacies of his task, he starts to find himself in tune with Lillie far beyond the limits of just work. The feeling becomes inevitable, with her beauty and her hardiness stealing his heart with each glance, whether she succeeds or fails.

In a quest to harness these uncharted territories with an extreme level of potential conflict and adventure, Watt reminds us, provocatively "Her legacy is his house". Both intuitively recognizing the vitality and desirability of cross-pollination. On either side of the divide, they lurch against tradition by aspiring to what the cowboy's treasure is—a home of their own.
