This is a sentimental and epic story about a young man, injured in the Viewnam War, who returns to Dallas, Texas, in 1964, and begins rebuilding his life. Set against the rock and roll era of the early 1960’s, when casual sex and recreational drugs were the norm, a chance meeting on a road trip finds twenty-six year old Carson Chance smitten with a young female hitchhiker he gives a ride to. Sparks fly as the two loners reach out to each other for companionship.

The sixties were full of hippies, hitchhiking, drugs and war.  Carson Chance, a twenty-four year old Vietnam War veteran returns home to Dallas without a college degree and an
injured leg. By chance, he is offered a position at a small private investigating company.
His life is interrupted when he is cruising on his motorcycle on the interstate and stops to pick up a ravishing brunette looking for a ride. Amy Warren is younger than she looks and tugs on Carson's heart string when he finds she has run a-way from home. He offers her a place to sleep for the night but she is determined not to leave and becomes his roommate; Amy fuels the fire that burns within him and the sparks begin to fly. The arrangement works for a while until Carson
decides to investigate her past, uncovering a mask of lies and deception.
Wanted for murdering her step-father, he finds she is a fugitive from the law.
The story takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride through several years of their traumatic relationship, where two dysfunctional people try to survive during a dysfunctional time. 
One reviewer writes: "Carson Chance P.I. is more than a run-of-the-mill romance story. This tension-filled book grabbed my interest as it portrayed two human souls struggling through problems that brought them to an understanding of the power of love."



     



Excerpt

Carson Chance was deep in thought when he first saw her. At first he thought it was a mirage or maybe his imagination, but as he got closer and slowed his Harley Davidson to a stop on the side of Highway 80, just in front of her; there was no question it was his lucky day. He stared at her as the wind blew her long auburn hair into her eyes. She swished it out of her face and it fell back around her shoulders as she smiled up at him. Mesmerized by her beautiful brown eyes, he quickly came back to reality and turned off the engine on his bike. Putting the kick stand down, he got off his bike, removed his helmet and took off his riding gloves. “Are you looking for a ride to Dallas?” he asked.

“Would I be out here on the side of the road with my arm extended out if I weren’t?”

Carson laughed. “I suppose not. Hop on.”

“I’m Amy.”

“Carson.”

“What’s your first name?” Amy demanded.

“That is my first name. Carson, Carson Chance,”

“Like Johnny Carson?”

“Yeah, I guess except Carson is my first name.” Carson was fascinated by Amy’s low, sexy voice and hoped he would get a chance to have a real conversation with her before they got to Dallas.

The Harley was now cruising down Highway 80 at sixty miles an hour making it difficult to hear. Since Carson relied on both his weak hearing and lip reading, he decided he would pull off around Terrell, Texas, and get something to drink. He’d made the trip back to the VA Hospital in Shreveport, Louisiana, several times on his bike and knew there was a Dairy Queen drive-in a quarter mile off the highway so he turned off and pulled in. “Duty calls,” he said. They both got off the bike and she pulled off her helmet, shaking her hair out. Carson thought it was the sexist thing he’d ever seen, and took a closer look at her. She had deep-set brown eyes, luscious thick pink lips and her skin was flawless. Her silhouette was perfect with all the curves in the right places and she had a small waist and tight slim hips.
