Abused, abandoned in childhood, Nora Jeans Jones can't love. Her sole purpose in life is to save enough money to find the siblings, who like her, were abandoned somewhere along the road by a rambling, drunk and abusive father. With her mother dead, Nora feels that it's her responsibility as the oldest female child to reunite the family. She's managed to stay unattached to anyone who might tie her down and prevent her from finding her family and starting over.
Until, one day, a man unlike anything she's ever seen, walks in to the truckstop cafe and orders coffee. He's dressed like someone out of the thirties, in a cat hat, knickers and houndstooth jacket. His car is an antique and he says he's in a Cross Country Race for antique cars. She's not worried about her attraction, because he'll have to leave. Only problem is, he won't.
Cosseted, pampered and now jaded, Hayden Hunter, son of Hume Hunter, auto magnate, doesn't want to love. His parents want him to, so that he can provide an heir to inherit the car manufacturing company called Lessux. It's just that no one has ever touched him and he doubts anyone ever will.
Until, that is, he walks into a truck stop cafe in Muleshoe Missouri and sees the perfect woman. Only problem is, she says she doesn't want him. Before he leaves, she'll want him or he'll know why.

"I've read a lot of great romances in 30+ years of romance reading, but this one is one of the best. Run, don't walk and for heaven's sake, don't saunter to your nearest bookstore. This is not a story that you want to leave on the shelves nor is it a story that you want to take the chance of not reading."
Deborah Barber, Reviewer for Escape to Romance
