Holding the Line (Love along the Wires Book #3)

Book excerpt: Can she find the strength to heal the wounds of her past--and open her heart again? A widow at just thirty years of age, Rose Finlay is determined to put all ideas of marriage and family behind her and pursue an independent life. But when she notices a young woman about to be led astray by a roguish aristocrat, bitter memories from her past arise, and she feels compelled to intervene. The unintended consequences of her efforts will ultimately force Rose to reexamine her life in a new light. As the guardian of his two widowed sisters' financial and domestic affairs, John Milburn carries heavy responsibilities for a single man. But he's faced with his biggest challenge when his headstrong niece falls prey to the attentions of a powerful man who could ruin both her and her family. When Rose and John join forces to protect his niece, they put everything they hold dear--including their growing attraction--in jeopardy.
