HTML:Once a frontier stagecoach stop, tiny Springwater has grown and changed and entered the twenty-first century. Cattle rustlers may still be stirring up trouble, but now they're high-tech operators in a modern world. Where stagecoaches once rolled along muddy roads, the Internet is now the newest highway in town. But heartbreak is still heartbreak, and love still love, and Springwater still boasts a rich legacy of joy, sorrow, and second chances — as two childhood sweethearts discover show more when they rekindle a long-ago passion in the place they will always call home.Maggie McCaffrey left her fast-paced corporate job to take a chance on a more rewarding — but riskier — business venture: turning the dilapidated Springwater Station into a bed-and-breakfast. But Maggie didn't count on running straight into J.T. Wainwright, the hometown boy who stole her heart many years before. A tough former New York City cop, J.T. survived a grave gunshot wound and returned to Springwater to find a better way of life. Now as deputy town marshal, he's facing off with modern-day cattle thieves who are plaguing local ranchers. Stronger than ever, J.T. seems ready for anything — except, of course, Maggie.
With her trademark sensuality and her flair for wit, Linda Lael Miller brings Springwater to life — this time, at the dawn of a new era. Historical Fiction. Literature. Fiction. Romance. show less

It was an interesting quick read. there's of course romance, Maggie and J.T. separated and married for a time to others have come back home alone. Then there's Maggie parents, who appear to be having a mid-life crisis. Maggie's best friend Daphne and her husband are trying to get pregnant. Finally teenage H.S. drop-out and pregnant Cindy and husband, Billy have their story. Plus the local lawman Purvis and His girl Nelly the Libririan. Added to this is the mystery of the butchered cattle. Ist's a lot to keep track of, but it's typically Linda Lael Miller.
Highschool sweethearts torn apart by a lie told from her brother. All the cattle killed was sad. I was glad Billy recovered and his brothers died. The Sheriff was delightful. Weird the time seemed so old Western; yet the internet was available.
