So, if you are confused, I can help straighten you out. This book would probably go best after The Hopechest Bride in order of reading. Sweet Child of Mine is indicated to come after this one. Unknown book? Then Close Proximity and A Hasty Wedding. Hope that helps other readers enjoy the series
This follows Rory, a college roommate of Blake's, a scientist for the FBI. Blake called him to come try to identify the substance that was poisoning the Ranch. In Close Proximity and A Hasty Wedding, we heard about the EPA agent's accident and finding out it was murder. In this book, we get to meet the sketchy agent, who is not sympathetic, and deal with the uncertainty around his death as well as finding out what the substance was that poisoned the children
Rory is put up at the local bed-and-breakfast, owned and operated by Peggy. Rory calls her "Ireland". The attraction between the two is known, but Rory controls himself because Peggy has been married to a cop and has no interest in being married to an LEO again. Eventually, they get together after hurt, heartache, and coming to terms.
There were a few discrepancies in the book between Samantha's age (Samantha is Peggy's five year old daughter; the front cover snippets indicated "two-year-old"), and in the series: where Holly lives (in A Hasty Wedding she lives on the Ranch; here she is living in town), and how the contaminant was discovered (In another book, it was indicated that Todd Lamb suggested the water to his daughter Holly, but here Blake takes the credit with process of elimination).
