Publisher Description
An exhausted cowboy meets a woman in search of her birth mother in this contemporary western romance by the bestselling author of Midnight Wrangler.
He needs to escape . . . Justin Skaggs is on the road to anywhere—as long as it’s far from home—when fate throws a kindred spirit across his path.
She needs to get to Oklahoma . . . Phoenix Montagno can’t believe her luck when she runs into the hottie from the bar. He’s the key to her getting everything she’s always wanted, but she can’t tell him that. Luckily he’s not interested in learning her story any more than he is in sharing his.
Both have secrets they don’t want to share . . . It’s the perfect arrangement. No personal details. No talking at all. Just two strangers sharing the cab of a truck heading the direction they both need to go . . . until they decide to share a bed, too.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The third book in Johnson's Midnight Cowboys series (after Midnight Wrangler), linked to her Oklahoma Nights series, blends serendipity and seduction in equal parts. Justin Skaggs is burned out from caring for his mother who is devastated by grief over his brother's death in Afghanistan and working a tough job as a ranch hand for Rohn Lerner. He needs to get away from Oklahoma for a little while. When Rohn asks Justin to travel to Arizona to pack up Rohn's fianc e's old home, Justin jumps at the chance. Along the way, he meets sweet Phoenix Montagno, who lives in California but is on a quest of her own. Phoenix loses her birth certificate and sends away for a duplicate. Instead of getting one that names her adoptive parents, she receives a copy of the original, which reveals the name of her birth mother. Drawn to this woman she's never met, Phoenix sets out on a journey to find her, a choice that will have repercussions for everyone in Justin's life as well as Phoenix's. Johnson's handsome cowboys never disappoint, and her sensitivity to difficult topics is evident in her skillful storytelling. Readers will cheer for a happy ending for all involved.
