Connie drew in her breath, knowing this was the moment, but fearing that if she said the wrong thing, or even the right thing but in the wrong way, the spell would be broken and Gifford would come to his senses.

Post War Dreams by Brenda Whiteside
Post War Dreams by Brenda Whiteside
I love stories in this time period, the ww11 era. Claire Flanagan has a hard life, her mother dying at a young age and she only seventeen has moved around with her dad trying to find work to support them.
They end up in a small town where she finds friends and her dream of going to California some day is growing dimmer. She meets Benjamin, a hard working young man, whom she falls head over heels for. He comes from a large family and quickly comes a part of it.
Claire and Benjamin's romance hits a snag and keeps you wondering if they will end up together.
