Nobody in the sleepy little beach community show more suspects she is running--from the mistakes she made in her youth, the memory of her fiance Rick and his unexpected death, and the rich, powerful people who want to take away her child. She has carefully concealed her troubled past from the folks in the isolated haven of Twilight Cove. Until now.Private investigator Jake Montgomery has been looking for elusive Caroline Graham since the day she disappeared with Rick's baby. All Jake wants is answers. He finally finds her living under an assumed name, no longer a wild teenager, but a beautiful, devoted single mother who captivates him like no one ever has before. As Carly cautiously allows Jake into her life, she begins to trust another person for the first time in a long while. She never imagines that Jake, caught between his mission and his growing passion, poses a threat to her protected world. For if her secrets are revealed, she might lose the child she holds so dear--and the man who possesses the key to her heart.Wise and wonderful, "Lover's Lane" is an unforgettable story about new beginnings and the search for belonging, superbly told by one of the most talented writers in women's fiction today."From the Hardcover edition." show lessTags

Carly used the identity of her friend whom had died in a car accident, in fear of being returned to the foster home at age 17. She developed in the arts with her paintings and loved a young man (short term). He was from a very well to do family and when on his way back to her and his son he died in a car accident. His mother sent her lawyer to retrieve the child and Carly once again had to hide. She moved to a town that fell in love with her and Christopher. A PI found them and fell in love as well. I liked the ending when all involved joined together as one.
