"Wonderful small town contemporary romance"
Out of work Formula One race-car superstar Rick "Lucky"
Hawkins drives through Texas to visit his father Clint and
his dad's new wife Pam. He misses the turn-off because the
sultry voice of the late night DJ, Red Jarrett hooks his
thoughts. He realizes his mistake and complete the ride. Though he planned to stay aloof from his stepfamily, Rick
finds he is unable to keep any distance as Pam and her kin
welcome him with open arms with one hesitant exception. He
especially finds his stepmother's cousin Audra Jarrett of
the sultry voice fame quite intelligent and he wants her.
However, Audra is a victim of tragedy and though she is
attracted to Rick, she fears commitment as something
happens to those she cherishes. So how is she to deal with
loving Rick, who drives high-speed cars for a living? She
concludes she can't because if he crashed she could not
recover. Rick will need more than love, perhaps a lot of
luck, to persuade Audra that being together only for the
moment but with the potential of forever is worth the risk. Though the Jarrett brood seems overwhelming at times,
readers obtain a wonderful small town contemporary romance
starring two fine protagonists. Rick and Audra make the
tale hum especially with her reluctance to risk her heart
on someone whose work is so dangerous. As usual Rebecca
Winters provides a deep poignant tale with characters
readers will appreciate and like. Harriet Klausner

SummaryWHAT HE WANTS.
Wealthy, womanless and temporarily at loose ends, Formula
One race-car driver Rick Hawkins finds himself in Texas
visiting his newly married father. While he's there, he
becomes involved with his stepmother's
family—especially her twenty-eight year old cousin
Audra Jarrett. She's beautiful, talented, loyal and
kind—qualities that attract Rick. In fact, SHE
attracts him as no woman ever has.
WHAT SHE NEEDS.
While Audra is drawn to Rick, she's afraid of starting a
relationship with him. She has suffered tragic losses in
her life. So how could she allow herself to love a man
with such a dangerous job? If anything ever happened to
him, she's not sure she'd be able to pick up the pieces.
Then again, Rick's nickname is Lucky...
The sequel to ANOTHER MAN'S WIFE.
