I read this book about 10 years ago and then stupidly got rid of it in part of a clear out.

The story is about a young woman who has just been widowed and is a mother of two, left with not much to live on due to poor managing of money on her husband's part. I think her husband died after being thrown from his horse.
She gets pregnant after having sex while off on a ride with a friend. After discovering that she is pregnant, the friend is no longer around (think he left the country, but can't remember this part).
The heroine is forced to turn to the friend's brother, who agrees to marry her. (Think he ran a mill, he was wealthy).

As the story plays out the heroine begins to fall for her husband and they go on to have children of their own.

The friend who got her pregnant, her husband's brother comes back and causes trouble.

That's about as much as I can remember.

Does anyone know the name/author of the book?

I think the cover had a woman in a blue dress sat on a chair tying her shoe.
