“You haven’t been honest with me,” Cam shot back angrily. “You never said you were facing serious charges. I don’t know what the hell is going on. I don’t even know who you’re running from!”
Tala hadn’t withheld information to deceive him. She’d done it to protect him, and herself.
“You’re not as innocent as you pretend to be,” he said.
She sputtered with outrage. “I’m not pretending to be anything.”
He stepped forward, crowding her space. “I’m not a fool, Tala.”
“Why did I come here, then?”
“To torture me.”
She shoved his chest. He didn’t budge. “You think you’re the only one who gets stir-crazy? I’ve been trapped inside a truck for two days, just like you. I need to move around, just like you. I feel restless, too.”
“What I feel is sexual frustration, not restlessness.”
“I’m aware of that.”
“So you wandered over here to make it worse?”
“No. I wandered over here to make it better.”
She didn’t touch him. She just waited for him to touch her, and he didn’t disappoint. Thrusting his hands into her hair, he crushed his mouth over hers.
I’m delighted to take you on another exciting adventure in my latest romantic suspense novel! If you’ve read my previous books, you know this story is a bit of a detour for me. Cameron Hughes isn’t a Navy SEAL. He’s not a member of Team Twelve. He’s a truck driver.
I’ve always had a soft spot for unlikely heroes, especially the bearded-recluse type. Cam is a former police officer turned guarded widower. He embraces the solitude and remoteness of Alaska’s dark highways. He doesn’t want to get involved with anyone, but fate has other plans. Enter Tala Walker, the witness on the run, and an unlikely heroine in her own right. She’s a waitress with a troubled past and in desperate need of a ride. Cam gives her shelter and becomes her reluctant protector. Together, they embark on a daring journey across the icy tundra.
I hope you enjoy spending time with these characters as much as I did. The setting is unusual, but the core of the story is pure romance. It’s about two people who fall in love against all odds and find the happiness they deserve.
If you prefer the road less traveled, come with me.
