Description

Sundown, Missouri 1954.

Clara Sinclair's hands are full. Her husband died years ago while courageously fighting in World War II, leaving her to raise their son, Tommy, alone. Tommy was always precocious, but now that he's a teenager he's become wild and unruly. Clara needs help keeping him in line...she just never expected that help would come from a handsome stranger.

Race-car driver Drake McCoy isn't one to be tied down. So when Drake and his mechanic friend make a pit stop in Sundown, he expects it's just for a night. But when he meets Clara, her sadness draws him to her and soon he's thinking about putting down roots and becoming a family man. But when Drake's past gets in the way of his future with Clara and Tommy, how far will he go to protect his love of a lifetime

Reviews

"A gentle tale of love lost and found...The charm is in the telling, with historical details and light touches to make the town of Sunset, Missouri, seem real, not idealized. A feel-good love story that comforts...Garlock excels at creating an experience her readers want, one that's still heartwarming..."
--Kirkus Reviews on Twice in a Lifetime
"A gifted writer."
--Chicago Sun Times
"Every Dorothy Garlock book is synonymous with a great read."
--- Janet Dailey, New York Times bestselling author
"Garlock's terrific story, set in mid-20th-century Missouri, pairs a lonely single mother with a flashy auto racer...Garlock keeps readers so wrapped up in Drake and Clara's romance that it's impossible to put the book down. There's just enough tension, from a few different fronts, to keep things interesting. Thoroughly credible characters and the aw-shucks charm of their small town make this a winner."--Publishers Weekly starred review
"One of America's most endearing historical fiction authors."
--RT Book Reviews
"The latest from romance doyenne Garlock mixes light suspense with traditional romance for an entertaining effect."
--Booklist on Under a Texas Sky
"There is nothing better than Dorothy Garlock at her best."
--- Sandra Brown, New York Times bestselling author
