About this listen
A young widow travels to South Dakota to start a new life—and discover new love—in this Americana romance from the New York Times-bestselling author.
Discover romance across America with Janet Dailey's classic series featuring a love story set in each of the fifty states.
Edie was barely eighteen when she married Joe Gibbs, becoming a stepmother to his five-year-old son and mother to their new daughter. Their life was frugal but happy—until Joe left Edie a widow. Now grief-stricken and anxious about their future, Edie is surprised to learn that Joe had made a secret plan to keep them secure and allow the young widow to pursue a lifelong dream of owning a ranch in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
Excited and optimistic, the Gibbs family heads West—only to find that Will Maddock, their wealthy new neighbor, is determined to add Edie's acreage to his own sizable spread. It doesn't help that the man is as handsome as he is arrogant. When their every encounter becomes a battle, how long can Edie keep Will from getting exactly what he wants?

Story
Sam's daddy always said she shouldn't get a vintage car until she knew how to fix one. And when her 1965 Mustang breaks down in a town smaller than a matchbox, she realizes he might have been right. Now she's stranded in the middle of nowhere, on the run from heartache, until she can get the vehicle repaired. At least Jack the mechanic is one tall drink of water. And Sam's pleasantly surprised to learn there's more to him than meets the eye when he shows his soft side by sending her to the only B&B in town, run by his grandmother, to take refuge.

Story
Rancher Jake Masters' adopted daughter is deeply troubled by his wife's death, so when she asks, Jake can’t deny the young girl's anguished plea to meet her birth mother. But granting her wish is damn hard—Jake never asked for this new woman in his life…or for the stunning attraction he feels toward her. Anne Baker has come a long way from the dirt-poor Texas town where she made the toughest decision of her life, but she's never forgotten her child. And nothing is going to keep them apart now, not even the suspicions of the most aggravating—and compelling—man she's ever known…
