Harriet has come to Landreville with her siblings to start over as the town's new teacher. She's escaped the town of Fortune and the painful reminders it holds. After a failed courtship and watching her brother get into trouble, she's hoping for a new start.
Lawrence is the mayor and sheriff of Landreville. He has a lot on his plate, but doesn't plan on staying beyond his six-month contract. The town only holds embarrassing reminders for him, but when he starts spending time with Harriet, his head tells him he doesn't want a ready-made family, but his heart wants to be with her.
As time passes, Harriet has to deal with more suitors, past and present. She's also seeing a change in some of her siblings - one for the better in her sister, and one for the worse with her brother. When her brother gets in some serious trouble, Lawrence has to uphold the law while Harriet worries about what the town will think.
This is a pretty good book - one you can read as a stand alone or out of order in relation to the others in the series. You'll get updates on the characters from the other two books, but if you haven't read them you won't feel lost. Good Book!
