Accepting a want ad's opportunity for marriage, Leah leaves her unhappy life behind her and travels to Cowboy Creek. Her husband died under unfortunate circumstances and Leah is pregnant. She arrives to find two of her childhood friends leaders of the town -- Daniel and Will.

I found this book to be disappointing; perhaps part of it is the fact that this is the opening story of a trilogy by three different authors. The story moved at a snail's pace. All of the tension was internal to the main characters; Leah did not want to love again because she had been so shamefully used by her husband.

Daniel, an incredibly honorable man, worried that Leah really wanted the other childhood friend, Will, (to whom Leah had been engaged for a short time, years before).

Another oddity was Leah's pregnancy. She stated that her husband had died 5 months before, yet she was not showing. Nothing was said about the baby moving (which begins in the 5th month).

This was a rather unsatisfying story because problems were started that will linger until the last book. Frankly, I didn't find enough interesting to hang around for another novel.
