Montana Surrender Kindle Edition
Backed into a corner after an unexpected spring blizzard decimates her already declining herd of cattle, Jessica knows she has no choice. Despite her vow to never touch the hidden gold — gold she feels is cursed — she can't meet the looming payment on the ranch she inherited from her father. There's no chance of a mortgage extension, either. The bank manager has already assured her in no uncertain terms he won't risk his bank's precious money any further on a woman running a spread. Lord, she should have spit in the manager's face, as her foreman had thought she would!
There has to be more than one rifleman in the ambush that ambushes Jessica and her men. But only one paint horse and rider are silhouetted against the setting sun. And only one person — Jessica, the lone woman in the group of cowboys — sneaks out of camp that night to search for her runaway horse. She's not afraid of ghosts, like the men appear to be. It's not ghost arms that capture her on the hillside, though. Definitely not a ghost that haunts her thoughts and dreams from then on as she tries to save her ranch.
Montana Surrender reads like a good old action packed Western movie. Trana Mae Simmons understands the wild land, its untamed characters and brings their complex stories to life. Romantic Times Magazine
A wild and adventurous shoot-em-up ride through the Old West, filled with unexpected plot turns and an intriguing cast of unusual characters a reader will remember long after the last page has been read. A winner! Michalann Perry, Zebra Books Author

About the authors
Trana Mae Simmons talks to unseen people, loses herself in other lives for hours, and writes her imaginative journeys down for others to enjoy. She found a way to use the adventures inside her mind when she discovered a writing course offered by another romance author. She penned her stories on paper and sold her first romance two years after that. Since then, she has gone on to publish numerous additional romances and garnered awards and a strong readership that enjoys her stories as much as she loves writing them.
Having kept close tabs on the emerging electronic age of books, she found herself with a still burgeoning list of stories to tell when the e-book phenomena developed into a viable medium for both readers and writers. On her first Kindle, she downloaded some of her own books! Her list of e-books will continue to evolve as her romances become available, as well as books from other genres, because….
Along her life's journey, Simmons was coaxed by her Aunt Belle down a weird path: ghost hunting. Simmons herself had no idea ghosts really did exist…if exist is the correct term for ethereal beings from another dimension. Aunt Belle had another huge lesson in store for her: Simmons was psychic.
Imagine that, she repeated to herself time after time as she prowled around grave yards in both the dark and full moons. Imagine that, she said when she saw someone who hadn't been initially visible in a picture she took. Imagine that, she enthused when she found herself in the middle of a paranormal phenomenon. Why these experiences are as much fun as writing about others!
So what did she do? Need I ask? She wrote those stories down, also. She ended up with dozens of diaries of her ghost hunting adventures, and her writing swerved into paranormal mysteries. Her Dead Man series is ongoing, and she has published two volumes of her ghost hunting diaries thus far, as well as a collection of short stories. You can find all this information at her other-dimension web site, http://www.iseeghosts.com.
But don't give up on her romances. The ones available now will soon be joined by more. So keep checking back here, too, for romance news.
For spooky news, you can also check out her blog or Facebook page and now and then a Tweet on Twitter.
Happy reading!
T. M. Simmons was dragged down the ghost hunting trail many years ago, due to her avid curiosity and her Aunt Belle, who had been dealing with the paranormal for more years than that. She publishes her paranormal investigations in Ghost Hunting Diary Volumes I and, so far, V. Volume VI is in the works, with more to come. She recommends you read these true ghost stories with the lights on.
Simmons also writes the Dead Man Mysteries and has several novellas and many short stories available. She is extremely willing to discuss her experiences with anyone she can corner.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 March 2016This books was a gift years ago but just had to do a review to let others know, It's a great read.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 August 2022This was a good paced, all action story. Jessica was certainly a plucky woman, there didn’t seem anything she wouldn’t try. When she met Storm they had this instant connection. However, there are many things in their way to a possible happy ending and some secrets to uncover. There are a couple of villains to add interest. This was an entertaining story that kept my interest to the end as I wasn’t sure how exact it would pan out. My only negative was, no epilogue, I do like to know how things worked out. I received a copy via eBooks Discovery and have voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 December 2018I read this one after I had read book 2 but I found I didn't like it as much. Firstly the hero's name -Storm. Secondly I thought it rather far fetched how the relationship between all the characters worked out. Thirdly, the ending. It just didn't equate to the hero's sense of protection for the heroine that events would proceed without first establishing his innocence. (No spoilers).
Jessica rides into an unfamiliar town with her ranch foreman Ned. They are searching for hidden gold as described by her deceased Uncle Pete. Storm, having served six months of a twenty year sentence for a crime he did not commit, has broken out of prison and is in hiding. Events conspire to bring them together.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 July 2022I really liked this story starting Jessica and a loving uncles death to setting out to find gold hidden years ago.
Storm had been adopted but his two step brothers made sure he was found guilty of rape and murder which made him an outlaw.
They met when he was in hiding and and she was on the hunt for gold.
This is the First time I have read from this author and it won't be the last as I enjoyed the story from the start to the very last page, such a lot happens in this book.
I have read quite a few western romances in the past, so I do love a good one.
I received this book from ebook discovery. I voluntary review this book. This is my honest review.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 January 2018Western Romances are a wide field from Mail Order Brides to more complex books. Trana Mae Simmons belongs at this end of the spectrum. The story is well written with rounded and interesting leads and good secondary characters and an interesting plot line with some good surprising twists, without defying probability. I particularly like the well-researched details that showed a lot of research, but a writing style that did not let the details distract from the story. Much to be recommended.
I Received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily review this book. This is my honest review
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 January 2018A galloping read about a cowboy wrongly accused and a fiesty gal who finds herself falling for him and wanting to help him clear his name. Jessica can ride, shoot and rope like a man, yet has a soft heart for the underdog. Storm has been in hiding since escaping prison, as he tries to clear his name. There are a handful of side characters fleshing out the storyline, including two nasty bad guys who darken the tone of the book. The pace rarely slows and the storyline is good enough, with a few twists, to keep everything flowing. I received a copy of this free from ebookDiscovery. This is my freely given honest opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful Western romance with a bit of mystery
I love Trana Mae Simmons' writing and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The heroine, Jessica Callaghan, was referred to as a "spitfire" and a "wildcat," and she i feisty, complex and totally believable. The plot was engrossing and grabbed me from the first page. I loved the idea that Jessica was on a mission to find lost gold to maintain the ranch and she wasn't going to let anything stand in her way; She was fearless, but never arrogant and had a warmth and humility that I found very appealing. She refuses to be intimidated by the eerie voice that urged her to "Go back There is evil here," even though the men in the group were afraid to venture out.
One thing I particularly like about Ms. Simmons's writing is that she creates a keen sense of place. She adds exactly the right amount of detail to draw the reader into the scene. I felt as though I really was in Montana in the nineteenth century. I could feel the early morning dew on the bedcovers, the tendril of mist crawling down the hillside, the small town of Baker's Valley with its General Store and women strolling the wooden walkways in gingham bonnets/
The romance element in this book is sensuous and the chemistry between Jessica and Storm is unmistakable. I loved this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars I liked it. Could use improvements in my opinion.
First, there are a lot of characters to keep straight. Second, it got a little long. A few less trials and tribulations would have been great with me. Third, the bloodlines of the H & H seemed at first to be in question. I sat down with pen & paper after reading the book and painstakingly detailed family trees for all of the characters. There shouldn't be that much confusion in a story. Good news - No one is related to anyone in a nefarious way. ☺ I'm not sure why it was necessary to have even developed the story in such a way in the first place. All in all I did like this historical romance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another good one from Ms. Simmons
This is the second book I have read by Ms. Simmons. I have loved both of them. I highly recommend her because of her detailed story telling, good character development and a way to keep you reading until the end. Looking forward to reading moreof her stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of Action
This story is full of cowboy action. It goes from one harrowing scene to another nonstop. If you like fast moving stories with plenty of western style action and a love story or two, you'll enjoy this story.
