If you end up here, that’s it. This is the Last Chance Texaco. Ever since her parents died in a car crash, Lucy has spent her life bouncing from foster home to group home and back again. Lucy was 15 years old when she moved into her new group home nicknamed The Last Chance Texaco. The counselors thought she had a bad attitude because of people trying to replace her parents, which was not true. She just hated moving.

Nate and Lucy decide to sneak out and try to catch the arsonist. Find out what happens when you read, The Last Chance Texaco! I think this book is an attention getter. I couldn’t put it down it was so intriguing each page more exciting. With the suspense romance I couldn’t put it down!
