Neon Larkspur Small-Town Romance Series: Neon and Nightfall

Calla Tsosie is the claims adjuster who processed the town's worst crash, and she never finished auditing it. Now she's home to take over her father's gas station just as the state's corridor study threatens to route the highway around Larkspur for good.For a decade, Calla has worked an Albuquerque desk, reading claims for the county roads around the town she grew up in, including the road she grew up on. Breaking off an engagement she'd signed on to for fourteen months, she drives home the same night to run Tsosie's, the station her father built, and to keep the road alive by changing a recommendation that starts with the worst night in the town's memory.Caleb Quintana is the new highway-patrol officer on the grade, the son of the legendary sergeant the town still says with reverence. He is also the man who actually worked that night on the Drop, the rookie who responded alone to a semi that lost its brakes coming down the grade, and who let the legend take the credit because being seen accurately was the one thing he'd spent ten years hiding from.She asks him the one question she refuses to dress up. Neither of them planned on it. Neither of them can walk away from it either.What readers can expect- A small-town setting built around a gas station, a dangerous stretch of road, and a study that could reroute the town's future- Dual point of view, alternating chapters- Clean, closed-door romance with a real deadline and real community stakes- A hero whose whole arc is about being seen accurately instead of as a legend- Book 3 of 3 in the Larkspur Small-Town Romance Series
