He’s searched all over for the woman of his dreams. Yet the only one to spark his interest is the new owner of the local café. Getting her attention, however, won’t be easy.\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n Sissy Sue Bentley has worked hard to make it on her own, and she doesn’t need another man in her life.

Sissy struggles to deny her growing feelings for him—but soon Ben’s tender concern has her hoping for a happier future. Then her past comes barreling back into her life, and it will take more than the love in Ben’s heart to hold them together.\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNEVER BEFORE PUBLISHED\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nReview\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPraise for Mulberry Moon\u003cbr\u003e\n\"Anderson grapples with abuse, taking a skilled approach to this issue that engages readers’ emotions and pulls them deep into the story, right up to the heartfelt sigh of relief at the end.\"—\u003cbr\u003e\nBooklist (starred review)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\"A tender, feel-good read that’s perfect for every romance lover.\"—\u003cbr\u003e\nBookPage\u003cbr\u003e\nPraise for New York Times bestselling author Catherine Anderson and the Mystic Creek Novels\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n“The minute you open an Anderson novel, you can immediately feel the vision of humanity and warmth that runs through all her books.

A rush of icy, pine-scented air surrounded Ben as he donned his tan Stetson and stepped onto the sidewalk. It smelled like home and reminded him how glad he was to be back in Mystic Creek, not just for a visit, but living on his ranch again.\u003cbr\u003e\nLiquidating his business as a rodeo stock broker hadn’t been an easy decision. He’d made damned good money. But it kept him on the road most of the time, often in flat, arid country where only a few bushy trees dotted the landscape. He’d quickly grown tired of the constant traveling, but he’d stuck it out to build a nice nest egg. Now he had finally quit, returned to his roots, and was trying to build a real life.\u003cbr\u003e\nBecause it had been sunny when he left home, he’d forgotten a jacket, so all he could do was hunch his shoulders against the frigid temperature. His new Dodge Ram waited along the curb only paces away. Against the backdrop of late nineteenth-century storefronts that characterized Mystic Creek, it looked futuristic in the grayish light that always bathed the town as the sun started its slide into oblivion.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe smooth soles of his riding boots lost traction, warning him that the concrete was icy. In mid-September, Mystic Creek sometimes had weather fluctuations, warm one minute and freezing the next. Stupid not to bring a coat, he thought. This is high-elevation Oregon. He guessed he’d been gone too long. Climatic habits ingrained in him during boyhood had lost their hold on him.\u003cbr\u003e\nWalking to his vehicle, he saw his dog, Finnegan, watching him through the back cab window.
