Training Mr. Right
(2025)
A Novel - Romance
Helen Young has made a career out of fixing other people's relationships while keeping her own heart firmly off-limits. As one of New York City's most sought-after relationships therapists, she's seen it all, and her opinion of men couldn't be lower. So when a cattle ranching couple from Montana desperately seek her help, she agrees to travel west, expecting another routine case of miscommunication and wounded egos.
What she doesn't expect is Skip.
The couple's son is everything Helen can't stand: egotistical, short-tempered, and maddeningly dismissive of her "city slicker" expertise. Their first encounter is a disaster. Their second is worse. As sparks fly, but not the romantic kind, Helen finds herself in an impossible position. She came to Montana to save a marriage, but now she's locked in a battle of wills with a stubborn cowboy who seems determined to prove her wrong about everything.
Skip thinks Helen's psychology degree makes her a pretentious city snob, while Helen thinks Skip could use a serious lesson in basic human decency. But as the big sky country works its magic and forced proximity turns hostility into something far more complicated, both begin to wonder: Is Helen really there to train Skip into being Mr. Right? Or is he about to teach this cynical therapist that she's been wrong about men all along?
In the sweeping landscape of Montana, two stubborn hearts will collide, and discover that sometimes the person who challenges you the most is exactly who you need.
