About this item
It was a great dream—while it lasted. At twenty-five, Amber Halliday thought life on the road with one of Nashville's hottest bands was her ultimate fantasy come true. Then in the blink of an eye she finds herself abandoned at a truck stop in Kentucky. No money, no family and nowhere to go.Navy veteran Joy Shepard, passing through on a cross-country trip, simply can’t ignore a woman in distress even if common sense tells her to drive on. She has room in her truck for Amber and a temporary job caring for her wheelchair-bound father once they reach Oakland. In a moment of weakness, she offers both.Though grateful for the opportunity, Amber finds herself on pins and needles over Joy's obsessive tidiness and stringent rules. Little wonder, since Joy finds her slovenly and undisciplined.
