Since her husband drowned six months ago, widow Kate Blakely is having a hard time making ends meet. She doesn't want another husband. After the disaster of her first marriage, she refuses to marry again. In fact, Kate doesn't trust any men. When her neighbor Zachariah McGovern stops by, she doesn't want anything to do with him. But a few days later, Kate shows up at his house in desperate need of his help. Her four-year-old daughter Miranda has fallen down a well. Kate asks Zachariah to rescue her.
This story started out strong. There was the exciting rescue attempt and the aftermath of it. But somewhere around the middle of the book, the story bogged down. Kate had a secret and she wasn't telling anyone. Zachariah offered to help her, but she wanted him to just go back home and stay there. There was so much angst in the second half of the book, I lost interest. Based on a great beginning, and a boring second half, I'll rate this book 3 Stars.
