The first time Maggie fell in love, it started with a broken toe and ended with a broken heart. At nineteen, she was too naïve to heed the warning signs, and she raced blindly down a path that destroyed her soaring ballet career and pushed her to close herself off to any romantic interest.
Thirty years later, Maggie’s first glimpse of rancher Dax Pearson makes her heart stutter in an all-too-familiar way. This time, she’s determined to keep a tight rein on the impulse to throw away her hard-won independence.
She’s not looking to get herself roped in by a handsome face, but Dax’s winning charm and gentle touch gradually begin to work their magic, and soon Maggie’s tempted to once again attempt the dance of love.
Letting go of the past isn’t easy, though, especially when it has choreographed her life for so long. Breaking free of its familiar rhythm could expose her deepest shame…and shatter her heart beyond repair.

Summary
Maggie - Stories Behind the Veil by Violet. I specifically chose this book when I read that the author used to be a wedding planner. However, once I started the book, I forgot about the wedding planning topic as I was sucked into Maggie’s story.
It was painful to read about her relationship with Gerry, but it helped you understand her baggage and reactions to things Dax would do or say. I was ready to smack her daughter but the author did a great job of explaining both points of views. I loved her friends that stayed with her through everything and were always there to help her.
Dax was one of my favorite heros. Not a hero like Thor, but relationship hero. His actions were those that I treasure in a spouse. I think my favorite scene was when he came back in from the truck and said he didn’t want to leave while she was upset; he wanted to be with her. *sigh. My tie for first place was when he fell off the horse. His backstory surprised me and broke my heart. It was so beautiful when he shared it with her.
These characters have stayed with me and I am telling everyone they need to read Maggie’s story.
Sexual content 4, several physical scenes, several situations where she is thinking in detail.
