Regina DeLuca left her Chicago crime family for a less violent life. Three years later she is now Reggie Dennis-a truck driver keeping on the move. When her big rig breaks down in Merry Dale, a small suburb outside of Baton Rouge, Reggie needs to earn some extra cash. She takes a job with single father Josh Fisher, a landscape designer with an alluring habit of working shirtless. No matter how distracting his muscles are, Reggie knows a future of staying in one place is an impossible dream that risks Josh's family to the danger always at her heels. But when that danger becomes a reality, Reggie will have to find the courage to stop running and embrace her past-even if it means exposing her true self to Josh and losing him forever. After all, DeLucas don't get happily ever afters.
