Part of the original Montana Maverick's series featuring the Mayor of Rumor Montana, Pierce Dalton, and his old flame Chelsea Kearns. Pierce calls calls Chelsea to Rumor to help with a murder investigation. As a doctor of forensic medicine, Chelsea helps to find the killer of the town librarian. In the meantime having Chelsea in town helps Pierce to find a way to get back the woman who got away.

Originally published in 2002, Her Montana Man is feeling the stress of time. Some of Pierce's actions, while seemingly a little out dated even for 2002, was really behind the times for today. Otherwise the story line was good. The romance between the couple was strong and the mystery interesting and ongoing.

Description:
A mysterious death had brought Dr. Chelsea Kearns back to Rumor, Montana, an assignment the forensics expert hadn't been savoring. She would have to face Pierce Dalton. Successful businessman. Town mayor. Brother to her best friend. Former lover…

Unable to resist, Chelsea found herself back in Pierce's passionate embrace, picking up where they left off years ago. To boot, she was now pregnant!

Chelsea's life was about to get much more complicated. She tried to keep her news secret. But once the good mayor discovered the truth, he wasn't about to let his happily-ever-after get away from him—again—without a fight!

It has been 25 years since Wayne Kincaid, aka J.D. Cade, has been back in Whitehorn. He hadn't planned to come to stay, but when he learns of the trouble that has been happening on the Kincaid Ranch he can't help but want to stick around and help any way he can. Not wanting to get wrapped up in the family he left long ago, Wayne come in under a fake name. Unfortunately it is taking a little longer than he thought to solve the mystery at the ranch. Now he's been here a year and ready to hit the road.

Dr. Carey Hall knows that J.D./Wayne isn't here to stay. She really knows better than to get involved with a drifter in any way, especially after the mess of a marriage she escaped from three years ago. She also has her five year old daughter to think about, but one touch of J.D.'s lips and she can't deny the attraction between them any more.

Can Carey and her daughter's love be enough to keep Wayne from his restless ways and having the drifter thinking of settling down for good?

Silhoutte is now re-releasing selection series of the Montana Maverick's popular series. This book is part of a series since 1998. The thing about series books is it is important to follow along and read everything in order, especially with the Montana Mavericks, because they follow a mystery. Some people don't like to stay that dedicated to a series.

I happen to like it. The Montana Mavericks is one of the best series available through Harlequin. A Hero's Homecoming is a little dated with some of the technology in the story even though it is only 12 years old, but still a great part of the series.

Description:
He was a loner, a drifter…and the only man who could save a little girl's life. But to do that J. D. Cade would have to reveal a secret he'd kept for over twenty-five years—the secret that he was still alive.

J.D. certainly hadn't planned on staying in Whitehorn. But soon he was renewing old friendships—and forging a tempting new one. Vibrant and tender, Dr. Carey Hall didn't know who J.D. was, but she seemed ready to care for him. What would happen when she discovered J.D. was really Whitehorn's nearly forgotten golden boy—and she'd fallen prey to another Kincaid?
