Highly recommended

Several miles from the small town of Flatville, Indiana lies acreage and a house built almost a hundred years ago that has passed through the generations down to Alison O'Hara. That Clint Strong walked on foot up to that ancient house was startling enough. That he arrived just as Alison posted her hand lettered Room for Rent sign was even more startling.Clint left his broken down truck somewhere down the road hoping to find a tow truck and a place to spend the night. Somehow a scrawny dog had attached itself to Clint between the truck and Alison's home. As she spoke to him, Alison couldn't help staring at the ugly red scars that crisscrossed the backs of Clint's hands, hinting at a painful past.There aren't many jobs in Flatville, Indiana. In fact, with Millie's restaurant closed down for remodeling, there aren't any jobs at all. Alison had resigned herself to selling the antique furniture in her house after her meager savings account ran out. So when the mysterious boarder appears with the scrawny dog, Alison is eager to make them both welcome. She needed the rent money for food and necessities, not to mention a bank note that, in a month, will cost her the house and land. Further, though she doesn't know it yet, Alison will need Clint for more than his rent money.Clint doesn't want to be needed. He views himself as useless and has the scars to prove it. Even as the overwhelming attraction pulls him to Alison and her beautiful five year old daughter, Clint is determined to hold himself aloof, distancing himself from that which he has tragically lost.STRANGER IN A SMALL TOWN by Ann Roth will certainly delight romance lovers. This first novel is excellent, providing dramatic flair that is understated, well-designed, and satisfying. Set in the southern Indiana hills resplendent with the steamy heat, the rich characterization will leave readers eager for more from this author's talented pen. Ann Roth possesses a romantic finesse that bears watching.
