A Classic Encounter

by Emilie Richards

Although Lizette St. Hilaire's slim shoulders trembled under the burden of her late husband's legacy, she refused to buckle. Somehow she would raise his son, maintain his beloved plantation and please his demanding parents. Jogging was her only indulgence. Then suddenly she was racing with gallantly flirtatious Chris Matthews. Captivated, but too busy for romance, she tried to leave Chris in the dust. But he gave chase, claiming the tethers of duty and tradition were stifling her spirit. And even as she ran from love, Lizette dreamed of crossing the finish line with Chris by her side.
