Synopsis:
Publication Date: August 1998 | Series: G K Hall Large Print Book Series
After the discovery that her late husband, a popular televangelist, embezzled five million dollars from his ministry, Rachel Stone is outcast and broke with a five-year-old son to raise, and in need of a job. Then fate and a dead car engine leaves her at a shabby drive-in theater owned by Gabriel Bonner, the hunky, anti-social black sheep of a prominent family, and the only person in Salvation, North Carolina, willing to employ her. The sexual electricity starts crackling the instant they meet--but it will take the shock of both their lives to give these two lonely people a second chance at love.
Independent and desperate widow Rachel Stone, a single mother with a disreputable past, returns to her hometown of Salvation, North Carolina, only to discover Gabe Bonner, a bitter man who does not know how to love, but her spunk and spirit ...
Gabe Bonner lost his family in a car accident 2 years earlier, and has been a shell of his former self. Rachel Stone is the widow of a greedy Salvation, North Carolina televangelist who absconded with most of the town’s hard earned savings 3 years earlier, blaming his fall from grace on Rachel.
When her car breaks down in of all places, Salvation, a now destitute Rachel seeks employment from Gabe, the only person in town who does not know about her past. Soon it catches up to her and Gabe very reluctantly takes her under his wing, since she is the first woman he has felt a stirring for since his wife died.
With the town and Gabe’s preacher brother Ethan against Rachel and her young son Edward (who likes to be called Chip), Rachel searches her former mansion (now Gabe’s) for the missing money, only to be thwarted by Gabe. Soon, the two are in each other’s arms acting on the chemistry that has been between them all along, much to both Gabe’s brother’s consternation. But Rachel cannot see herself with him long-term as he keeps Edward at arm’s length, to the point that Edward fears him.
There is also a secondary romance involving Ethan and his secretary Kristy who has had the hots for Ethan for ages, and solicits Rachel’s help in getting him to notice her. And boy does he.
This is the fourth of the Chicago Stars/Bonner Brothers stories. It is one of the best. The scenes between Gabe and Edward will keep you misty. He is a broken man that cannot seem to accept another young boy in his life, especially one he perceives as being as weak. Be sure to read "Nobody’s Baby But Mine” to get background on the Bonner family clan.
