The Winning Tickets

by Judith Keim

Overview

Sometimes magic happens...
Gabby Willets returns to her hometown of Ellenton, NY, to care for her father, who's dying of cancer. She and her father are exceptionally close because her mother died giving birth to her in a situation that should never have happened. As Gabby was growing up, she and her father shared a love of cars and even participated in a few races. Her father suggests she work at the Dan Davis Lexus Dealership, where he has been head mechanic for years, and Gabby decides to do it. When a contest is announced with the prize of two tickets for a 10-day Caribbean cruise for the salesperson selling the most cars in a two-month period, Gabby goes for it, competing against the owner's son, Hank.
Gabby wins the tickets, and she and her best friend, Jessica Knight, board the ship, Tropical Magic, hoping for some magic of their own. The cruise is full of surprises starting with Hank's arrival with Ashley Phillips, the woman he's been dating—a woman both Gabby and Jess detest with good cause. Though Hank and Gabby have been attracted to one another, they don't act on it because dating someone you work with seldom works, and Gabby doesn't want to lose her job. But as Gabby and Hank get to know one another, magic does happen and suddenly they're faced with different choices.
Surprises continue, including the most touching surprise of all when Gabby and Hank discover more than a cruise was at stake.

Ms. Keim loves to hear from her readers and appreciates their enthusiasm for her stories.
Ms. Keim enjoyed her childhood and young-adult years in Elmira, New York, and now makes her home in Boise, Idaho, with her husband and their two dachshunds, Winston and Wally, and other members of her family.
