A Lick of Sense Barbra Heavner

In 1941, nothing could stop the onset of World War II. David McKaid, attorney and heir apparent to the Diamond MiK ranch, is just realizing professional success when he is called up to fight. Forced to propose to his fiancée, Betty Lou, when he was just nine, David has never known true love. Lucinda Rollins has never been afraid of much of anything. A fiercely independent spirit, she thinks she has worn her engagement ring long enough-her fiancé disappeared the night he proposed. But when the war ends five years later, a celebration in the streets brings David and Lucinda together in a passionate kiss that will change their lives forever. Just days later, David and Lucy elope. After she endures the wrath of David's former fiancée, city girl Lucy tries to adjust to country life with a cowboy who quietly aspires to be a politician. But Lucy soon discovers that her troubles are just beginning when she is stalked by a crazy woman who wants nothing more than deadly revenge. A Lick of Sense weaves an entertaining tale of post-war Texas as Lucy trades her innocence for a new life full of adventure, danger, and most of all, love.
