Dotted Lines

Clara Saint-James has a Cadillac to deliver to California. The car belonged to an old friend, who started the trip but did not finish it, and Clara takes over the drive. California is a place she has stayed away from for over ten years.

The trip is also a chance to settle the past. As teenage runaways, Clara and Karson Avery lived in a junkyard together. She wanted more than friendship from him, but he was always with someone else, apart from a single night when he was hers.

In a small coastal town, Clara finds Karson again. The boy she remembers has become a striking man, with the same easy smile and the same roguish look in his eyes. Her feelings for him may be only nostalgia, or they may be real.

Timing has never been on her side, and it still is not. Clara has to decide whether to fight for Karson or let him go and accept the dotted lines that have kept them apart. This is a second-chance romance with a slow, wistful pull.
