A rancher buys a rogue stallion and a world of trouble. A young woman seeks the horse she can't let go.

Brigham Montgomery, recently returned from military service, buys a rogue stallion and a world of trouble. Lonely, financially strapped, and not quite sure he wants to be the ranch boss, all Brig knows to do is take his problems to a higher power and have faith.

The loss of everything she holds dear sends a frightened young woman called Kat across the country to South Dakota. She is searching for the one friend she has left in the world—a special horse—an extraordinary jumper named Storm. A horse someone wants dead.

A stable fire in the night brings Brig and Kat together in a way neither could imagine. Will Kat and Storm find shelter with Brig or just lead more trouble to him? Are Kat’s faith and trust forever shattered or can they be rekindled?

Seeking Shelter is a contemporary western romance based on love, hope, and faith.               


     



Excerpt

As she rolled over and tried to get up, she realized the sound was the frantic screaming of terrified horses kicking at their stalls in panic. Oh God, please no, she thought over and over as she pushed to her knees. Then she smelled it.
The acrid, ashy, smoke burned her nose – she could taste it on her tongue. The heat almost seared her throat as she inhaled. In spite of the pain in her head, she knew one of her worst fears was coming true. She was in a stable fire – a horse lover's most horrific nightmare.
Flickering red and yellow lights danced before her eyes throwing strangely shaped shadows throughout the center aisle. They added to her growing terror. Shrill neighs and pounding hooves echoed in the long building signaling animals going out of their minds with fear. Crawling to the nearest stall partition, she pulled herself up and staggered back to the corner stall holding the black stallion. She saw vague movement through the swirling haze and firelight toward the front of the stable. Shouts indicated the arrival of others as they began working to rescue the horses from the burning building.
The smoke grew thicker with every moment. Flames roared through the wooden structure like a runaway locomotive. The back side of the stallion's stall was already an inferno. He lunged repeatedly at the solid Dutch door on the inside aisle in an effort to escape. Rearing, he smashed his front hooves against the wood.
Reaching out, she shakily unfastened the latch and began talking as calmly as possible to the terrified horse. He screamed his fear and jerked back when a portion of the ceiling caved in near her, directly in front of his stall. Embers flew into the air all around them. Straw ignited as the flaming cinders landed. Then the stallion reared and lunged, nearly stomping her feet.



Professional Reviews

Sweet Romance 4 stars
Love, faith and sweet sweet old fashioned romance is all these two need to make it through. And although we all know there will be a HEA in their future, the fun part is always the journey. And what a journey these two are on! Entertaining and not without a little humor as the supporting characters seem to always chime in with all their words of wisdom, I have to say I was utterly captivated.

Not her Finest But No Less Enjoyable 4 stars
SEEKING SHELTER is overall about the harsh realties of ranch life, the loneliness and the game of chance that as owner and grandson to the original ranch holder Brigham Montgomery faces every day, every season. Toss Kat into the mix, with her own set of problems and issues and a lose cannon running around the hillside with a rifle and this was a full on read.
