A carefree drifter enjoys life on the road, small towns, different jobs, new friends and a variety of girls. The last thing he needs is a runaway heiress who could tempt him to put down roots.

Less than twenty-four hours after dodging a matrimonial bullet, Bart Wheeler reluctantly comes to the aid of a girl in trouble. With Bart's street smarts and Samantha Shepherd's guile, they keep one step ahead of an irate business tycoon, the FBI and a bogus kidnapping charge in a hilarious flight of self-discovery and unexpected romance.

Excerpt

The trembling dog's nose twitched toward the patty in the container. Tinker whined then looked at Bart with longing eyes. He let out a sharp bark and jumped back into the purse.

Samantha broke off a piece of hamburger and held it out. "Here, honey." Tinker poked his head out, glanced at Bart and then gobbled down the morsel. His tail thumped against the side of the purse as he waited for more. "Don't you like dogs?"

"I don't like anything I have to take care of," Bart said. And that went for spoiled rich model-types who carry dogs in their purses.

A car behind the truck honked. Bart noticed the green light and drove through the intersection.

Who was this uppity rich girl? What kind of mess was she in that brought her on a bus to Tony's Café? Who were the four suits, and why were they after her? Bart shook his head. He'd forgotten about Mandy in the past half hour, but, dude, what had he gotten himself into?
