I picked this book from a thrift shop for 50 cents, and it was worth that amount. I didn't realize it was part of the Harlequin Romance Novels. It wasn't all out sexual, or anything.
I thought it was a very thoughtful book, hit somewhat close to home. My dad died when I was 11, he was about 40 years old when he died- my mom has been single ever since. The book is about a woman whose husband died about a year before, she is 40 years old, and the company that she works for is collapsing, forcing her to transfer from Miami to Boston with 2 young kids. She tries to sell her house- no luck, and tried to get another job- no luck. But the good thing about moving to Boston is that is where her widowed Mother-in-law lives. Her only living relative. She may not get along with her, but she needs a job, and it will be good for her kids.
This is a cute story about picking up and carrying on in the face of tragedy. And that there can be romance and companionship after losing a loved one.

A very cute story!
From back cover:
"In eleven short months Charlotte Smith has:
A. Become a widow too soon
B. Had her job transferred out of state
C. Driven over 1500 miles with two cranky
kids
D. Moved in with her mother-in-law, Rose
Fiorello Smith (a cross between Mary
Poppins and Napoleon)
For Charlotte aka Charlie, dealing with bumps in the road is a fact of life lately. Maybe it's time she made Rose realize that embracing change isn't about waving goodbye, but saying hello to a life where limits are for sissies...and a new beginning is only a new hairdo away."
