Summary: Fairly decent plot, usual Donald characters
Review: This book features widow Camilla struggling to keep her small dairy (and mixed) farm afloat, after the death of husband David in a freak accident. Both her late husband and her uncle have made her promise not to sell to neighbour Quinn Fraser, but why? Again, no spoilers, but the rural setting is beautifully described as are the neighbors. (As in Regency romances, where there are plenty of lords and especially Dukes around, Donald's novels have wealthy landowners/ gentleman farmers galore). Camilla rejects help from Quinn; in the meantime cousin Karen (a nice person) arrives looking for a job. But how is Camilla going to keep herself afloat, and how will she repay her bank loan? Small disasters that quickly become major ones, a possible thief or rapist, and Camilla's growing attraction to a man who has been forbidden to her... A pleasant and competent story, although not one that sticks in your mind a few days after reading.
