During a nasty storm in Paradise Corners, Montana, Deputy Sheriff Owen "Rafe" Rafferty takes drunken teenager Bobby Maxwell home. Instead of a thank you for not allowing the inebriated Bobby to drive, Rafe receives the riot act from his passenger’s father, Robert "Boss" Maxwell, owner of Walking Stones Ranch. Only Bobby’s older sister Althea treats Rafe with any gratitude.

Rafe and Thea hit it off from the start to the surprise of both of them and quickly fall in love. However, their relationship hits a nasty dilemma for the couple when Rafe needs to arrest the troubled Bobby. This forces a distraught Thea to choose between her soul mate and her beloved younger brother.

Lynette Kent’s MARRIED IN MONTANA is a fast-paced tale that is filled with angst and loving dilemmas under the Big Sky Country. The heroine is a wonderful person who deserves to inherit the ranch she loves while Rafe does the right thing even as though he thinks he lost his love of a lifetime by doing so. Though Boss Maxwell seems unreal to be even a character, the remaining secondary cast, especially the troubled Bobby, add depth and set the stage for the next two tales in this miniseries Roxanne Rustand’s A MONTANA FAMILY and Ellen James’ MY MONTANA HOME.
