The constant peril of brigands keeps Verity Coleman stuck in Silver Cliffs, dreaming of the open road-and of Loyal Alsbaugh, the tall and silent highway patrolman. When her town is attacked, Verity has a chance to win over Loyal's muted heart. But will his wounded past make him leave her along the road, or can she convince him to take her along?
