The year is 1959. James O'Connell is parked in front of an
all-night liquor store in Paris, Texas, trying to summon the
courage to rob it. When out of nowhere, a tall, willowy
woman leaps into the front seat of his car, presses a revolv-
er to his head, and tells him to burn rubber.
Who is this person? What is she running from? What is in
the paper bag she threw into the back seat? James is deter-
mined to find out her name and everything about her. But
as alarmed as he is about what has happened, he quickly
becomes captivated by this beautiful, mysterious woman.
So begins Bob Brawley's dramatic, romantic novel of two
people thrown together by chance, united by unimaginable
circumstances, taking them on a journey of danger, intrigue,
desire, and love, their fates inextricably intertwined.
