Emily Donovan barely had the strength to live.  She had been hanging on by a thread since her husband Sean's violent abrupt death a year ago because she felt as if she died along with him.  It just hurt too much to live.  She was shocked when Taggert and Greer showed up to take her back to Montana and the Mountain Pass Ranch she had missed so much.  Sean had accepted her love, and didn't try to change her.  He accepted that she was in love with he and his brothers, but they couldn't.  When she declared her love for them all, Taggert and Greer turned her away.  Sean was her rock.  He picked up the shattered pieces of her soul, and encouraged her to share her gift of song with the world.  They had been happy until Sean gave the ultimate gift.  He sacrificed his life for hers.When Greer and Taggert finally found Emmy, she was just a shell of her former self.  They were desperate to get her home because they felt being home would help her recover from the loss they all felt.  The brothers could tell when they got home that she was on the verge of not being able to get over the loss of Sean.  They were going to have to live with the guilt of turning Emmy away when in fact they loved her to distraction.  That bad judgment set in motion events that couldn't be changed.  Taggert and Greer only hoped it wasn't too late; they would be able to show Emmy how much they loved her.MB has done it again!!  I enjoy her stories because she does not tell just another ménage story.  She adds other elements that haven't widely been incorporated into stories.  Loss, whether you have personally felt it or not, you are drawn into this story from the beginning.  This is a very emotional and compelling story.  It is so well written that we can feel Emily's pain, and the torment she is going through.  I would have liked for the villains motivations to be more clearly defined, but overall another winner!!
