Long Road Home — Jean Faure

It's dangerous to consort with strangers, but truck driver Erin Taliferro can't afford to refuse brawny Luke Reardon's offer of help. She'll warily share his fancy rig for the chance to repay her debts and leave the hard life behind. But Luke's mysterious reticence--and the exquisite tension of their enforced intimacy--drive her into an emotional tailspin...

Beneath Erin's tough independence, Luke senses her vulnerability, her fear of intimacy, and an aching desire that matches his own. Vehemently he curses the secret promise that forces him to gain her trust with lies... and vows that, before they're finished, he'll claim her for his own.
