Tegan Ash has to get married so she can stay in the United States. She's got nothing waiting for her at home in Australia and she's got a groom ready to go until he backs out. Tegan thinks Chet changed his mind because of his best friend Jamie. They've never gotten along until Chet, the thread that ties them together is no longer the buffer between them. Jamie feels bad for Ash and wants to help her especially since his best pal let her down...Novellas aren't very long and if you're lucky the one you're reading is written very well so you get the whole story in a small number of pages. Lillian Darcy is veteran author and this novella doesn't disappoint.Tegan is let brutally down when Chet backs out at the altar but she realizes what she was asking of him was too much to ask from anyone. When Chet reveals his reasons for saying no at the last minute, Tegan is astounded by the maturity Jamie shows especially when she didn't think he was capable. Jamie's view of Tegan changes when he sees her stripped of the shield she wears.Seeing Tegan and Jamie really see each other for the first time was wonderful. Watching them come to grips with the personal hurdles and try to cross them so that they be together was great; most couples these days give up the moment they come across obstacles. The chemistry between was smoking as well.I'm loving these Montana Born stories. I'm sure you will as well.
