A winning novel by Roz Fox

Someone to Watch over Me by Roz Denny Fox (Harlequin Superromance) A story set in a Basque community located in Eastern Oregon, SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME is the story of a young woman dealing with a horrible tragedy and uncertain future after her husband murders their two young children in what was a botched suicide/murder. The story opens with the wedding of Colt and Summer Quinn, in which Isabella Navarro is the caterer for the event. Gabe Poston is a good friend of Colt's, and Gabe bumps into Isabella outside the reception hall and immediately notices Isabella and her sad eyes. He tries to help carry some items for her into the hall, but Isabella wants nothing to do with Gabe, or any man. She is too wrapped up in her sorrows and the horrible images that keep replaying in her head. She was the one that found her two children dead. She felt she was responsible for their deaths, because she was the one that drove her husband to it by divorcing him, a scandal in its own right in the Basque community.For Gabe, however, it's instant infatuation, and he tries to find his way into her life. He makes an impulsive business transaction and buys a sheep farm, which coincidentally happens to be located next door to Isabella's family's farm. Her father takes Gabe under his wing and starts to teach him what he needs to know about raising sheep. It's hard work, and Gabe begins to wonder if he made the right decision. In the mean time, the murder trial is about to begin for Isabella's ex-husband. Isabella is a nervous wreck, and that is an understatement. Because Gabe is a lawyer, he is able to give her advice and helps her through the trial. Gabe would do anything to help Isabella, and to prove that he cared about her.I highly enjoyed reading SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME. Roz Denny Fox did a good job of bringing the world of the Basque community to life. I also enjoyed the story of Isabella Navarro and her triumph over a crazed ex-husband and her ability to move on with her life. Another great read from Harlequin Superromances.
