The Ramblin' Man

Mary Etta "Molly" Dalton had a plan for her life. She wanted money and prestige but didn't want to work for it. Instead, she planned to take a shortcut by marrying someone who'd already done the work to get rich so she could slip in and enjoy the luxuries afforded to the wealthy. But an unexpected pregnancy got in her way. Using her resolve and determination to let nothing keep her from achieving her life goal, she left her home and family to have her child and placed her for adoption. Then she went in search of her destiny. Hired as a line machinist in a garment factory, her stunning looks soon caught the attention of the CEO and she was soon well on her way to living out her dream. However, she hadn't planned to fall so deeply in love. She hadn't factored in a need and desire to be at the center of a man's passion. Living her best life and reconnecting with the family she'd left behind, Mary Etta believes she's found her perfect world. But disappointment soon finds the cracks in the foundation of her marriage. When her sassy, outspoken friend persuades her to accompany her to a real "Jook Joint", she's introduced to a new excitement...a new level of being noticed and desired. Then a Ramblin' Man named Grayson Phillips turns her world upside down with his irresistible charm and stunning good looks. With a shared attraction that is almost visceral, the challenge to remain faithful to her marriage commitment becomes a constant source of growing discontent. However, Grayson is running from a ghost and is firm in his declaration to remain a free-spirited wild stallion. Although she appreciates his honesty, she finds herself walking an emotional tightrope with no way to sustain her balance. Then a dreaded phone call threatens to unwrap the neat package of Mary Etta's well appointed life and expose the secret she's shared with no one. When the puzzle pieces begin to fall in place and the truth is revealed, no one, including The Ramblin' Man, is prepared for the unexpected road block that forces him to face the demons of his past, and catapults Mary Etta into the clutches of a revelation that could destroy the destiny she carved out for herself.
