Could this be Murder and Moonshine by Carol Miller? It's from 2013, and
the waitress is separated rather than widowed, but the would-be boyfriend
is a bootlegger:

Publisher's description:  "All small towns have secrets--and plenty of
them--as every small town waitress knows. Daisy is no different. A young,
recently-separated waitress at H&P's Diner in sleepy southwestern
Virginia, she hears more than her fair share of neighborhood gossip while
serving plates of hash and peach cobbler. But when a reclusive old man,
Dickerson, shows up at the diner one day, only to drop dead a few minutes
later, Daisy quickly learns that some secrets are more dangerous to keep
than others--especially when there's money and moonshine involved."
