Montana Man (Harlequin Temptation)

Montana Man is an early romance novel by American author, Barbara Delinsky. Lily Danziger is on the run from her ex-husband's family in Hartford with her five-week old baby. She's in a late-model sporty Audi, headed for Quebec, determined to make a new start in life, but it's not a car that's built for negotiating a northern Maine snowstorm. She takes a chance on picking up a stranded hitchhiker, a taciturn cowboy named Quist, who's less than impressed when this obviously spoilt city girl runs out of petrol.

After spending the night bundled up in the car, waiting out the blizzard, Quist heads off to find better shelter. Quite a trek later, they're in a cabin, where they can at least be dry and warm, desirable as it looks like they may be there for some days. Aware of the need to stay civil in close quarters, they try to rein in their irritation. Nonetheless, sparks fly, not all of them verbal. Perhaps a little slow moving, this is quite a sensual and moving romance.
