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

Review:
I have been waiting and waiting for this book and finally Justin!!! Okay so after the previous book you can pretty much guess who was going to be with Justin and I have to say I'm really pleased how Johnson ended up pulling off not only these two characters meeting but how well the story went.
If you haven't read the first two book I have to suggest that you do because while this could be read as a standalone the previous book gives you the set up for this book. With that being said...
As I said this story is about Justin and Phoenix. Justin lost his brother 2 years ago and he is dealing with a depressed mother. Sometimes he needs to just be alone and get himself together so he asks his boss for a few days off but then is asked to pick up his boss's fiancé stuff in Arizona. He takes it because it will finally give him a chance to think and be alone.
Phoenix is getting ready for her students to come back but is also planning a trip to Aruba but before that she needs a passport and in order to do that she needs to locate her birth certificate. She requests for a duplicate and it looks like someone in the department messed up because this one names her birth mother. After thinking about it Phoenix decides for some answers but some unexpected twists are coming up.
One thing I love about this series is the characters. They are all so different but they all just get along. Each couple has gone through different and difficult times that makes them seem more real.
Justin and Phoenix are total strangers but it's like they were meant to be. One thing leads to them meeting and to Phoenix getting closer to finding out who her parents are. I loved the road trip part and how they started to get to know one another without trying to give away details of their personal lives.
Overall I was pleased with how the story wrapped up and I am looking forward to reading about Colton.
