Appalachian Summer — Eva Claire

Kathryn had played so many roles -- society bride, wife of a senator, charming hostess -- until the whirling carousel of politics ground to a halt with the death of her husband.

In the woods of West Virginia, one man dared to break her sad silence with a country song. Successful and educated, Whit MacLaine was still a son of Appalachia, an offspring of the very land he tilled. As the sun dissolved the sleepy mountain mists, he drove away her bitter past and helped her to discover her true role, her true place -- in his arms.
