Love on the Wind

A short Christmas romance set in Montana.

All Becky wanted to do when she was growing up was to get out of Hardin, Montana, a small town with a conservative bent close to the Battle of the Little Big Horn National Monument. Now that she has a job at a large oil refinery in Billings, she realizes it doesn’t suit her either. But what’s a girl with a high school diploma to do?

A chance meeting with Travis, a Native American, on a windy hill at the monument, makes her aware there’s more chance at romance than she’d ever imagined. At the same time, she knows her grandparent’s viewpoints don’t include interracial romance as a possibility.

Travis has his own ambitions, which don’t include a romance with a white woman, even if she does live in the same city. He’s focused on bringing windmill technology to the reservation and beyond. The Montana plains have more than enough wind to support the industry.

Not everyone agrees with him. His mother wants him to move back to the reservation. His cousin David opposes Travis’s project at every turn, and Travis can’t figure out his cousin’s angle. Why is he so opposed to less intrusive energy? And what is he going to do about the intriguing woman the wind blew into his life?

As they grow through closer through the fall holidays, can Travis and Becky find a way to acceptance and love through the miracle of Christmas?

Set in the eastern plains of Montana, Love on the Wind immerses the reader in the problems, scenery, and history of the remote state while weaving a story where love triumphs over all.
