A young Missouri woman is torn between her bootlegging father and the lawman on his trail in this historical romance by a New York Times bestseller.
“Garlock is the writer to read for Americana Romance. She captures the essence of the rural Prohibition era, and she’s such a good storyteller that the reader can feel the textures, hear the music, and smell the baking pie while rooting for love to triumph in the lives of Garlock’s endearing characters.” —Booklist
Anabel Lee and her father have made a middle-of-the-night move from their former home to a remote hilltop house in Missouri. Anabel is glad that she was able to finish high school before the move, but has resigned herself to the fact that her father's bootlegging business has made them nomads and left her with a life of loneliness.
So when a young boy named Jack Jones comes to the door, hungry and looking for work, Anabel eagerly invites him in. And Anabel's father quickly recruits him for his operation. Meanwhile, Jack's older sister is looking for her runaway brother and begs law officer Corbin Appleby to find him. Corbin does so easily, but he also stumbles across the rumrunners—and Anabel, who attracts him immediately. What’s an honest lawman to do?
“Garlock is clearly comfortable with her gifts as a storyteller, and she knows her audience. The romance between Annabel and Corbin is sweetly nostalgic (they keep their passion in check until their wedding night), but Garlock isn’t afraid to be earthy and funny, nor does she shy away from serious topics.” —Publishers Weekly
