Rocky Road to Love

When Mason gets caught in a blizzard on his way home for Christmas and ends up in a snowdrift, the outlook is grim—until a handsome trucker appears, offering shelter, companionship, and a tow in the morning. Tate has never been anyone's idea of a hero. He's been on the road most of his adult life, with few ties to people and even fewer to any particular place. Now, after one steamy night in the cab of his truck, all that changes. Suddenly he has a sweet, intelligent guy who can't get enough of him, who invites him to spend New Year's with his family… who already feels like home. But Tate's job keeps him on the road for weeks at a time. Can he really build something permanent? Portions of this novella appeared in the short stories Weathering the Storm, Coming Home, and Tying the Knot, published by Dreamspinner Press in 2009.
