Margaretta arrives in Marlborough wanting to find a friend. She's running out of money, and she's in trouble. Her husband is dead, but her brother-in-law could be a threat if he discovers she's pregnant.
Nash is intrigued by the newcomer and is determined to make sure she's not there to take advantage of his elderly neighbor. He discovers that Margaretta isn't a threat, but when he learns the truth about her, his painful past tells him to stay away.
I read this after the first book, so I kinda already knew what happened, but it didn't bother me too much. I think the main issue was the shortness. While that's to be expected with a novella, I missed the development of the relationship between the characters. They interact, but the ending didn't seem earned somehow. I'm not sure what it was, but it just felt like something was missing.
