Abstract |
Megan Howard used to be a successful painter--but that was a long time ago. These days shes struggling to move forward, convinced her heart is permanently broken after her last relationship and grief stricken over the loss of her father. Clinging to memories of happier times, she holds tight to her fathers most cherished possession: a 1958 DeSoto Adventurer. Though she needs the money, shell never sell it--even loaning the prized automobile to her best friend on the day of her wedding stirs up painful memories. Avowed bachelor and car collector Noah Black has never seen a car he can live without&or a woman he can live with. Reluctant to see his best friend condemned to matrimony, he flies to Boot Creek, North Carolina, from California to be the best man in the wedding. But after discovering that the gorgeous maid of honor owns the car of his dreams, Noah makes a pricey bet that hell add the DeSoto to his collection, no matter what it takes. |
