A sweeping, epic romance, Crow Mountain is the kind of tale that leaves you breathless and craving more. Set between the present day and 1866 – and taking place on the dramatic landscape of Montana – Crow Mountain has recently been shortlisted in the YA category for the Romantic Novel of the Year!
While on holiday in Montana, Hope meets local boy Cal Crow, a ranch-hand. Caught in a freak accident, the two of them take shelter in a mountain cabin where Hope makes a strange discovery.

In this wild place, both girls learn what it means to survive and to fall in love, neither knowing that their fates are intimately entwined.
