Dana doesn't want to sell her family's Montana ranch, but her siblings are insistent that they want the capital from it now rather than wait for gradual pay-offs in the future. Without her mother's new will, Dana doesn't really have a leg to stand on. Things get even more complicated when a body is found in an old well on the ranch. The town brings in a new marshal to investigate, and he turns out to be none other than Dana's ex-fiancee, Hud.

Daniels does good job with the intrigue element of this Harlequin novel but is only mediocre with the romance. Although Hud and Dana are believable as a couple, their only sex scene isn't really a sex scene at all. Imagine characters in a movie kissing passionately for a while then the scene fading to black. It's like that. Maybe Harlequin in general is cleaner than I remembered? Who knows. In any case, if you're after a light, almost a cozy, mystery with a touch of romance and no sex, this is for you. If your preferred escapism is steamy love scenes, you should probably look elsewhere.

Check out my full review.
