After all, isn’ t that one of the reasons Grant walked out on her last fall? He couldn’ t wait for her practice to settle down to have kids. Not to mention, her husband couldn’ t seem to commit to one woman. It seems next to impossible that one night of stupidity could lead to her becoming pregnant. She still can’ t forgive him, but Jill has to tell Grant he’ s going to be a father.
As if Grant’ s return wasn’ t hard enough, the man has provoked someone else—someone who won’ t stop the phone calls, the threats.
As much as she hates it, Dr. Jill Edwards’ s life may depend on her estranged husband.

A Man She Can Trust, is the second book in Roxanne Rustand's 'Blackberry Hill Memorial' series. The story is set in a picturesque, northern Wisconsin town of Blackberry Hill where, as in most small towns, the lives of the inhabitants intertwine and things don't stay secret for long. A marriage on the rocks, fueled by small town gossip, rumors and misunderstandings has Dr. Jill Edwards wondering what's next? Jill struggles with several challenges including 1) she is on the verge of a divorce from her husband, Grant 2) he hasn't forgiven her for miscarrying their baby, and 3) she has undertaken the expensive restoration of an old Victorian mansion, which she also suspects is haunted (books mysteriously appear and rocking chairs rock by themselves). When Jill's father in law, a local attorney in Blackberry Hill, suffers a heart attack and ends up in the hospital, Jill discovers that she will be seeing more of her estranged husband, who is back in town taking over his father's law practice. When an angry husband of one of Grant's clients decides to take revenge on the attorney who sent him to jail, and threatens Jill's safety, Grant and Jill find themselves together again. Life suddenly turns when a snow storm causes an electrical outage in their Victorian home and they spend the night in front of a roaring fireplace. With their futures still uncertain, Jill discovers that she is pregnant with Grant's baby, and well, I'll let you figure out what happens next... Roxanne knows how to weave multiple plot lines which include warm characters, incorrigible pets, small town life, family drama complete with everyday struggles and fond memories that are all so true to life, you might know people like this in your own community.
