“This was a slower read for me but still a good story. Jeanne is a widow determined to be self sufficient. Wash is a "wounded bear" who has forgotten how to live.

They help keep the story lighthearted.
Blurb (from eharl): Widow Jeanne Nicolet's beautiful lavender fields are threatened by the advancing railroad. With her livelihood in danger, Jeanne will fight to protect her, and her little daughter's, future.
Constantly on the move, surveying the land, suits Colonel Washington Halliday just fine. He can escape the haunting memories of war that have left his emotions as damaged as his injured body.
