Callie's Quest

About the Book

Callie, betrayed by her best friend and the man she had hoped to spend the rest of her life with, fled to Chicago to escape the memories. Life there failed to kill the longing for what might have been in spite of her employer’s pressure to get his ring on her finger. Her father’s illness drew her back to the North Dakota ranch she had called home. When she reaches home, she finds a new man, Lucas, in charge. Instead of quarters in the bunkhouse, he is sleeping in her brother Bill’s old room

His sarcasm bewilders her until she finds he had learned of the circumstances that caused her to leave. They clashed constantly as circumstances threw them together. When Chad, the reason for her to flee from home, arrives, it made living in the same house almost unbearable.

When he starts visiting the curvy little bank teller, jealousy raises its wicked head and things went from bad to worse when her folks decided to visit her brother and they were left to care for the ranch. After an amorous episode, he brings in the bank teller’s mother to oversee the cooking and care of the house, much to Callie’s chagrin. Jealousy drives her into disappearing from time to time and finally sends her off to talk to her father. She comes back, promising to stick it out. When the teller decides to marry, Luke is free to tell Callie his true feelings and get her in his bed, permanently.
