The Last Boyfriend by Nora Roberts

 This is definitely my favorite of the Inn Boonsboro series.

Avery MacTavish runs a very successful pizza parlor and is happy with her life. Just because she's had a crush on middle brother Owen Montgomery since she was six and he gave her a bubble gum ring doesn't mean she's actually going to act on it. Except that he suddenly seems to have noticed that she's a woman. They decide that they're mature enough to handle a relationship, even if it might go south. I liked the discussion that they had with not too much beating around the bush, they decide they can handle a relationship and they go for it.

Also, I really liked Owen. He's organized, clear-headed and goes after Avery but is still concerned about her feelings.

Avery is a spitfire who is in charge of her own destiny. She does get a little shaken up when her past comes back but that is cleared up fairly quickly, not drawn out and made into some Big Misunderstanding.
