This book holds a special place in my heart. It was my first book published! My dear sister painted a picture for the cover. The one on the left. It has since been updated, see the one on the right, but I continued using the moon from the painting. It’s simply turned upside down. Click on the picture and you’ll be taken to the Amazon site.
I want the book now!

Orphaned at the age of five, Bess has lived her life as the unwanted grandchild of a bitter old woman. She’s tried to be the ideal child but has never measured up in her grandmother’s eyes. She’s learned to soothe her anxieties with food. At the age of twenty-three, she’s suddenly cast out of her home. Desperately hoping to find family connections, Bess decides to visit her only aunt in Las Vegas – but she doesn’t have a way to get there from Houston.
Nando, raised to be his father’s ideal son only wants to restore vintage cars and take road trips. He wants nothing to do with family that will tie him down. Having just finished restoring an old VW Bug that he’s named Helga, he’s planning a trip to Las Vegas to see the Rat Pack is Back show. When Nando’s sister. Espy, talks him into taking Bess with him, he repeats his mantra, “Me, the road, and Helga…”
But Espy manages to persuade Nando to take Bess, and from the moment they meet, sparks fly. Bess is worried that her eating disorder will ruin her chances of ever finding love…especially since she’s falling for Nando…
