They don't use my name here. They call me the operator.The last one lasted nine weeks. I have one season to make a failing Montana guest lodge earn a dead man's tax payment, and my contract ends the day I succeed. That isn't the tragedy. That's the arrangement. It's every arrangement I have ever had.Four properties. Fourteen years. I have never once unpacked.Soren Halvorsen voted against hiring me. Five to one. He runs the cattle, raises his daughter alone, and has spent all spring making sure I know which side of the fence is his.Then a calving goes wrong at four in the morning. Three hands' worth of work, two hands, and mine are the only others in the barn.He counts under his breath while he pulls. Eleven, every time. His father counted. In thirty years nobody on this place has ever asked him what the number was.I counted with him.Every morning since, there has been a cup of coffee on the barn rail when I come out. Black, the way I take it, which I never told him. He never says anything about it. He never asks if I want it. It is just there.I have been handed a lot of things in a lot of jobs. Keys. Clipboards. A whole hotel. You take them, you say thank you, and you find out later what they cost.I don't know what to do with a thing that is just mine.His seven-year-old has decided I'm staying. There's a shed behind the branding supper and neither of us has mentioned what happened behind it. And a developer wants forty rooms on the point with my name on the door and no one else's, which is the only thing I have ever wanted and the only clean way off this lake.Nine months to the first payment, or fourteen years of paying together. One season to prove I can fix anything and be gone.He has never asked anyone to stay. I have never stayed.One of us is going to have to go first.Stay for the Season is a standalone small-town cowboy romance: a grumpy single dad, a city girl who can fix anything, dual POV, a slow burn that pays off, open-door heat, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
