Montana Daddy

Dr. Rory "Swift Eagle" Oakes was one of the boys that Oliver Oakes adopted. The three boys share in the Double O Ranch that Walker runs - Rory was a healer so he went to vet school to be able to take care of the animals. One wonderful summer Kristi Kerrigan came to visit her grandmother, Dr. Justine Beauchamp and she spent a lot of time with Rory. She wanted to become a doctor just like her grandma so she went home intending to attend med. school. "Bird Brain" [the Oakes brother's name for Rory] spent the next 5 years becoming a veterinarian and now has a home just down from Dr. Justy in Grass Valley, Montana. During that time he lost contact with Kristi and was afraid to find out that she had gotten on with her life without him. Dr. Justy has broken an appendage and is in need of help so she asks Kristi to come spend a few weeks with her. She also has ulterior motives. She is afraid to see Rory again, as he mustn't have cared for her all those years ago. Then they get caught up in a snow storm [maybe a blizzard] trying to rescue a man with a possible heart attack. They end up rescuing a wolf and taking him back to town with a little hanky-panky thrown in. Oh yeah, mama shows up with her grandson - Kristi's son and floors Rory. He doesn't know what to think. Adam has to be his son? Oh boy, is Kristi in trouble. They have a lot of misunderstandings to clear away. Rory has lost the first 5 years of his son's life. Now Adam gets a Blackfoot naming ceremony. It's a pretty good read - wonderful characters - nice piece of a trilogy.
