The Widow's Little Secret. Judith Stacy

      Jared needed breakfast, but didn’t dare go to the Cottonwood Café for it. He wasn’t exactly Mattie’s favorite person right now. He was liable to get the bowl of oatmeal he ordered dumped over his head.

      And even that, he feared, would make him want her again.

      He headed to the Silver Bell Restaurant at the other end of town to have his meal. After that, he’d get down to work. This was a quiet town, but he needed to learn his way around, make himself known, check for trouble spots. He didn’t intend to let things get out of hand in his town.
