Wyatt Clark is still recovering from the loss of his wife, Macy, to the return of her first husband. Wyatt leaves town, lost and broken, to travel across the country with just his dog for company, to attempt to heal his shattered heart. Eventually, he feels he is ready to return home, though he is still a broken man. Living alone and in seclusion works for Wyatt; only venturing out to spend time with his daughter and his secretary. The moment Wyatt meets Holly Fisher, the young mother staying at the farm next door, he feels compelled to assist her in any way possible, even if that means breaking out of his self-imposed bubble and become neighborly.

Holly Fisher's sister, Hannah, has done the unthinkable by dropping off her son and disappearing without giving Holly an explanation or timetable of when Hannah will return. Holly has no choice but to put her immediate future on hold and return to the family homestead to give her nephew a stable life. She can learn to become a responsible adult while frantically wait for Hannah to resurface. Holly takes the new responsibility seriously by teaching herself how to cook and take care of a child while still holding on to her song writing career. Holly has no reservations about asking for help, even if that help comes from the brooding and broken, Wyatt Clark.

We are finally getting to read Wyatt Clark's story! A LIGHT AT WINTERS END is sweet and powerful. Julia London does Wyatt justice by finding a woman to spark his interest with enough chemistry to ignite a field fire. Love it!
