He helped her move forward in her law career. Darcy is wanting to become a judge one day. She works hard and is determined to do what’s right. However, the old judge, her mentor, and husband, passed away. He leaves a surprise for her and before she knows it, she’s accepting the temporary judge position in a town she wants to leave. Side tracked from leaving, Darcy fills the role. Only life proved a little bit more complicated. A former love, is back in town and sets her heart beating fast. They have instant attraction. But proving to Darcy that they can be a couple will be hard. She just lost one man she loved, can she risk being hurt again? Overall, this novel was good. I loved the older matchmaker group. They made this novel hilarious.
