Maeve Branch is neck-deep in embarrassment. Her husband disappeared with millions in embezzled funds and she discovered he'd been cheating on her for years Now Maeve is broke and brokenhearted--shutting out everything except her family, her twin sons' NASCAR careers and her beloved animal shelter. Oil tycoon Chuck Lawrence can hardly believe that the lovely woman volunteering at the shelter is the socialite the tabloids can't stop talking about. His code of honor demands that he help her, but while he advises Maeve on her financial affairs and she introduces him to the world of NASCAR, he begins to wonder if he can teach her to trust a man again--and let him into her heart....
Jean Brashear, one of the best romance writers around, delivers an unusual story with finely imagined characters and lots of deeply felt emotion. What happened to heroine Maeve Branch could have destroyed many women. But Maeve, despite her protected and privileged past,finds the courage, resiliance, and character to deal with adversity, and you can't help but root for her. Part of a NASCAR series of books, NASCAR gets its fair and accurate depiction in the novel, but the story rightly belongs to the unusual and captivating heroine and hero. Yes, it's different, and yes, it's very, very good. Highly recommended for anyone who's ever had to, in mid-life, defy all odds and start all over again. Meave proves it can be done.
