This is the second book in a six-novel series by Shanna Hatfield. Based on this one, I believe each is a standalone book. Maggie Dalton married at fifteen and was a widow by nineteen. However, she and her husband were devoted to each other, and Maggie now wants no more heartache. She's been a widow for about ten years.

Maggie has a successful small seamstress business and two close friends: Thane Jordan (a rancher) and Tully, the sheriff. Each knew her and her husband, Daniel. Thane has recently married. Tully would marry Maggie, though he is not in love with her.

The lumberyard owner has been interested in Maggie since he arrived in town two years ago. However, she keeps him at arm's length. However, Ian is a very persistent man.

This is a well-paced story that keeps the reader's attention. Overall score = 4.5 stars.
