Montana Legacy: A Forbidden Small-Town Cowboy Romance (Beau's Story) (The Stark Brothers of Montana #5)
L.C. Reagan
Beau Stark has always been the quiet one—the dreamer who sees what others miss. While his brothers fight to keep Stark Family Ranch afloat, Beau works behind the scenes, mapping wildlife corridors and watching for threats no one else notices. When signs emerge that the development meant to destroy their land isn’t finished, Beau knows the danger is closer than ever.
Ava McAllister never wanted to come back to Montana. She left at eighteen, changed her name, and built a life far from the shadow of her father, Cain Thatcher. Now an environmental lawyer, Ava is forced to return to Three Pines when his buried secrets resurface—secrets powerful people are determined to keep hidden.
As Beau and Ava work together to uncover the truth, an undeniable connection grows between them. But when Ava’s identity is exposed and her credibility is attacked, she must decide whether she’ll run again—or finally stand her ground.
Will Beau’s faith in the land and the woman he loves be enough to protect them both? Or will the past claim one last victory before the legacy is secured?
