W
ow!
That
was
the
one
word
that
immediately
came
to
Madison’s
mind
when
they
reached
the
top
of
the
mountain
where
Corey
Westmoreland
lived.
Coming
to
Montana
had
certainly
opened
her
eyes
to
the
beauty
of
an
area
she
had
never
visited
before.
Seeing
the
spacious
and
sprawling
ranch
house
in
the
distance,
set
among
a
stand
of
pine
trees
and
beneath
the
beautiful
Montana
blue
sky,
forced
a
breathless
sigh
to
escape
from
her
lips.
“Why
would
one
man
need
a
place
so
huge?”
she
turned
and
asked
Stone.
His
mouth
twitched
into
a
grin.
“Mainly
because
of
his
family,
especially
his
nephews.
When
it
became
evident
that
the
number
of
male
Westmorelands
was
increasing
and
this
place
would
be
their
summer
home,
Uncle
Corey
decided
he
needed
lots
of
space
and
a
huge
food
budget.”
Madison
blinked.
“You
mean,
while
growing
up,
all
eleven
of
you
would
visit
at
the
same
time?”
Stone
chuckled.
“Yeah,
we
would
all
be
here
at
the
same
time.
But
you’d
better
believe
that,
although
everyone
thought
Uncle
Corey
was
nuts
for
having
all
of
us
here,
they
knew
him
well
enough
to
know
that
he
would
keep
us
in
line
