Talk of the Town
Barton, Beverly
TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT

Sweet Southern belle Lydia Reid never imagined she'd be the subject of scandal. Yet when her unfaithful husband made her an unforgiving widow, Lydia turned to country boy Wade Cameron for comfort ... and EVERYONE in town began talking!

Wade knew he was flirting with disaster when he befriended Lydia. The delicate damsel had a reputation to protect -- and do-si-doing with an unrefined redneck like him could only do her good name harm. Disapproving looks from nosy neighbors warned Wade not to get too close. But maintaining a cool, comfortable distance called for more control than he could muster one hot steamy summer night ... a night that left the whole town of Riverton speechless!
