Montague

Triplets on the Rive Book One

Montague front cover

He thought he was a monster…

When Sheila was ten, her parents moved from the city to the isolated river delta.  Away from people, her only friends were three triplet brothers, three years her junior, who taught her how to swim, catch crabs, and mostly cause trouble.

At eighteen, Sheila wants to get married, but she can’t imagine leaving her triplets. Then she realizes that she’s really only worried about leaving one triplet. It’s hard not to think of him as a little boy, and although he’s grown up well, Sheila isn’t sure how to relate to her playmate as a romantic prospect.

Montague has always been hard on himself. He wants to be a good husband and father, and that means learning to trap, build, and trade. His older brother still sees him as a little boy. His triplet brothers and Sheila don’t understand his fears.

When he kills someone defending his family, Montague begins to see himself as a monster. It’s time for Sheila to make her feelings known if she plans to save him.

Montague is the first book in the Triplets on the River series. Grow up. Fall in love. Avoid Alligators. Again.

Jill's Notes

  • You all, I really enjoy this book. Yes, I do read my own books, and this one I’ve read more than once. 
  • Parts of books one and two happen simultaneously, so I had to be careful with my timelines. I have NO sense of time, in reality and in books, so it wasn’t easy.
  • This trilogy includes a side story about an abandoned house the kids consider haunted. Since this is an imaginary swamp, I went ahead and let it have an imaginary ghost.
