Title: The Road to Freedom
Description: GONE TO GROUND

Arizona trucker Dugan Granger found Abby James bruised, broke and stranded in her dead car beside the highway. She wouldn't say what or whom she was running from, but it wasn't in him to leave her to face her terror alone.

The desert had taught Dugan to accept violence as part of nature's plan--after civilization had taught him to hate the waste of human cruelty. Abby needed honest work in exchange for shelter, and trust in exchange for the lies she'd told to protect herself. Dugan offered both in the only way her desperate pride could bear.

Another man had made Abby's life a burden of fear: Could she accept the haven Dugan offered out of love?
