The Widow — Lynn Winchester

Leo Watkins is an ill-tempered widower with a busy smithy to run and no desire to adhere to silly niceties. He likes his life just the way it is and doesn't care what other people think. But when his son convinces him it's time to remarry, Leo needs a crash course in wooing a bride. Missy Piers is a school teacher, a young widow, and the only woman in town fiery enough to put a grumpy old blacksmith in his place. So when Leo asks her to help him catch a wife, she's reluctant to do so. Until she starts to fall for the awkwardly charming farrier. Leo doesn't know what to do about the infuriating yet intoxicating widow. She's bossy, uptight, and…beautiful. And she makes him feel things he thought long buried. Falling for Leo isn't in Missy's plans, he's stubborn and entirely too handsome. So why does his presence make her weak and why does his touch make her yearn for something more? When these two opposing spirits are offered a second chance at what they've lost, will they find love or will their hearts forever be lonely?
