Tracey Wood is excitedly getting ready to celebrate her third wedding anniversary with her family and husband. A devastating phone call informs her that her husband has been in a terrible automobile accident. She rushes to the hospital and what she learns there, turns her world upside down. Not only is her husband, Donald dead, but she also learns of his unfaithfulness. Sharon, his mistress, also perished in the accident. This storyline is the center of Patricia Anne Phillips' second novel, June in Winter.
Tracey finds it difficult to deal with the death of her husband, and it is even harder for her to accept that he was cheating on her. She buries herself in her work and in helping family and friends, neglecting any kind of social life. She rejects the idea of falling in love again, until she runs into Dr. Travis Howard a second time. He is smitten with Tracey, but she is reluctant to become involved with Dr. Howard since his sister was her deceased husband's mistress. Tracey has to come to the realization that she can not let Donald and Sharon's actions dictate who she can have a relationship with, therefore predicting her happiness. Dr. Howard is very persistent in helping Tracey to deal with her grief and to find love again.

While this is a typical and predictable romance, excellent secondary characters and sub-plots add some spice to the tale. Tracey's sister, Robin and the fatal attraction story, adds suspense. Aunt Flora adds wisdom and finds a companion of her own. Wendy, Michelle and Stella bring their own kind of uniqueness to the story. I think romance readers will find this book a worthwhile read.
