Wes always knew where he was going and had since he was a boy. Whether he was hauling a load or mapping his future, his focus was steady. Hauling was a lonely life, a young man's game, and his years were rolling by. He didn't think much about a wife. He had no intention of marrying while hauling and doubted his future held much appeal for most women. Still, he was content.
Becky knew this solo trip across the country was her last chance to do something crazy. The handsome trucker in the gorgeous rig was enough to make her take it. Ever the dutiful daughter, the end of this road meant marriage to a man she didn't love and just once she wanted to do something for herself.
Neither knew during that first encounter that fate had other plans. Their roads keep crossing, bringing them closer, but Wes won't accept that she'd ever be content with the life he can offer. He can't see past the young woman who wanted, just once, to walk on the wild side. But tragedies bring truths and when it strikes, it is Wes who realizes how wrong he is.
