But as cravat-wearing smooth-talking Monty Charles sweeps Libby off her feet the women of the Muscateers smell a rat. They know only too well that the first year of widowhood is prime for making mistakes and they're determined to protect their friend. And as Monty soon finds out to his cost never underestimate a Widow on the Wine Path . . .
