description: "Phoenix" was his handle, but trucker Peter Lericos had no intention of rising from the ashes of his former life and reclaiming his place in society. Society had burned him badly, 'shut him behind bars. Now he valued only freedom and open road.But memories of innocence had left a crack in his hardened heart, and feisty, karate-chopping hitchhiker Margaret Ann Miller inched her way in. With the law on her tail, her son in jeopardy, she was desperate, cunning--and innocent. And soon Peter was sheltering her in his rig--in his arms--risking his precious liberty on the rising hope that together they could find warmth and justice in a cold, cruel world.
