About the book
When Lady Luck deals her a roadside diner in small-town Texas, a professional poker player discovers home may be the best win of all in this heartfelt romance by New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Brown.
Carla Wilson, a professional poker player, found herself out of luck in Tucson. All she had left was a nearly empty SUV and ownership of the Tumbleweed Bus Stop and Diner in a small Texas town. Her initial plan to sell the diner and move on seemed straightforward enough, but things took a turn when she encountered the firm but motherly cook and the warm waitress who quickly embraced her as family.
And then there was Jackson Armstrong. The charming heir to a wealthy oil family and a former military man, whose piercing green eyes made Carla forget her usual strategies. His smile hinted at a depth of emotion that suggested he was not just playing around. With the help of a pair of meddling seniors and the café's regular customers, Carla's restless spirit began to find solace in her unexpected new home.
As she navigates this new chapter in her life, Carla realizes that she had been missing out on essential things like true friendship, a sense of belonging, and a love worth taking a risk for. Perhaps it was fate that led her to this unlikely place, guiding her towards a brighter future.
