This book has 2 complete novels in it, both published in 2002
The Indy Man
susan is engaged to Warren, who works in a law office. Martin Braden has made it his purpose to speak up and seek her out and let her know she is beautiful.
He's shown up at dinner parties and even to help her brother change the flat tire, and to thank him-to be invited to their house for dinner. He's the hot racing car driver.
She keeps telling him she won't date him that she's engaged. She's visiting Warren's father at the hospital when she learns from the other patients' radio that he's been in a pit stop accident.
After the accident they talk him into staying at their house so he can recuperate.
Reissue of 2002 book. Kinda thought so cuz there's no real high-tech things and he smokes cigarettes.

Homeplace
Cathie an elementary school teacher is going to marry Clay. They were finally engaged a year ago now. Problem is they keep putting off the wedding, save til after college,
save til after getting a job, save til they have enough to afford a house, save till they find a house.
The family's farm land was also sold and she and Clay remember all the good things about spending their childhood there.
Love that this book is about all the memories I have of where I grew up-on a farm.
Very nice detailed letter about how the Americana books were written, but I don't follow why these two old books, of 10 years ago are given another name and put into a new book because they are old books still. ( )
