The 1994 recession has hit Cassie Franklin, a custom jeweler in Eden Beach, California, right in the heart. With sales falling and bills piling up, and with would-be real estate mogul, Carla Towne, scheming to force Cassie out of her shop, Cassie must pull out all the stops to survive. Her best chance to save her business is to find a way to get into the most prestigious art show in Eden Beach, but to do that, she will have to take risks with her work and her life. Risks that might cost her everything. It's the worst possible time for Tate Garner, handsome owner of the exciting new restaurant around the corner, to stroll into her life. Tate's silver-spoon background is everything Cassie, an outsider with a chip on her shoulder, ridicules. But as she discovers the man behind her preconceptions, she wonders if she can trust herself to take the biggest risk of all: falling in love.

Middle-aged and mostly respectable, Kat Merevec and Tish O'Donnell are the least likely women in Evanston, Illinois, to become safecrackers-until the night Tish's husband dumps them both. Now, drawn together by an unlikely bit of chance and a dash of revenge, Kat and Tish are on the lam, taking an equally unlikely escape route-the Mother Road: Route 66.With the trunk of their classic 1957 Buick convertible stuffed with more than a million bucks in cash, diamonds, and unfulfilled dreams, they're racing from Chicago to the Pacific along a fabled highway potholed with switchbacks, setbacks, and detours. But to reach their California paradise, they have to stay one step ahead of Tish's ex, a private eye with his own agenda, and the murderous fence who wants them dead!
