Publisher Description
Return to peaceful Crossroads, Texas, where community comes first and love thrives in the unlikeliest places…
Yancy Grey is slowly putting his life back together after serving time for petty theft. As he rebuilds an old house, he finally has a sense of stability, but he can't stop thinking of himself as just an ex–con. Until one night, he finds a mysterious dark–haired beauty hiding in his loft. But who is she, and what secret is she protecting?
The art gallery Parker Lacey manages is her life–she has no time for friends, and certainly not lovers. But when her star artist begs Parker for help, she finds herself in a pickup truck, headed for the sleepy town of Crossroads. A truck driven by a strong, silent cowboy…
Gabe Snow has been a drifter since he left Crossroads at seventeen after a violent incident. When he accepts a job in his hometown, he'll have to decide whether he can put the worst night of his life behind him and build a future in the community that raised him.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Thomas's stellar contemporary, Crossroads, Tex., is where broken people go to hide, and with kindness and trust, they find friendship and love. Talented artist Victoria is desperate to escape from the gilded cage in which her parents have trapped her. Dallas art gallery owner Parker helps her disappear to Crossroads, setting off a chain of seemingly unrelated events: Tori meets and falls in love with ex-con Yancy, bounty hunter Gabe returns to his childhood home, and deputy sheriff Fifth starts dating helicopter pilot Madison. And when it's Parker's turn to run away from Dallas and her problems, Clint, the grieving widower next door, is the only one she can call. Thomas's talent shines as every multifaceted character is painstakingly crafted with an intricate set of motivations. There are no cardboard cutouts or shortcuts here. The pacing is just right, never bogged down with anyone's backstory. The ending is not rushed, and just like real life, the resolution is messy. There are some unanswered questions, but the strong love among friends, lovers, and neighbors make the ending satisfying.
