Runaway Whirlwind
(2024)(The first book in the Big Boys of Berenson Trucking series)
A novel by May Alder
A woman on the run.
After my dad forgets to set the house alarm, I grab the duffel bag I’ve had packed and hidden for months and sprint into the night to the closest truck stop. My future and safety rely on finding a trucker willing to let me hitch a ride out of town before my dad discovers I’ve run away. Legally, he can’t drag me back home if he finds me now that I’m eighteen, but the law has never stopped him from doing what he wants before.
Faced with one rejection after another, I become desperate…desperate enough to throw myself in front of an 18-wheeler pulling out of the lot, forcing the driver to slam on their brakes or run me over. Heart pounding and losing hope, I drop to my knees in front of the older mountain of a man who steps out of the truck. I’m willing to do anything he wants so long as he agrees to take me with him. At least, that’s what I tell myself…
A trucker who is her last hope.
I’ve never been tempted to pick up a hitchhiker before, but when the young woman risks her life running in front of my truck, then kneels in the dirty parking lot and begs me for a ride, I give in against my better judgment. She doesn’t have to follow through on her promise to do anything I want since I won’t touch her with a ten-foot pole. At least, that’s what I tell myself…
When I find out why she’s so desperate to get out of town, I make a promise of my own. A promise to take care of her and protect her until we go our separate ways. Except, I can’t let her go.
Not now.
Not after my monumental mistake.
Not after knowing she could be pregnant with my baby.
Runaway Whirlwind is a standalone, full-length, fast-burn, spicy, age-gap romance. Please read the Author’s Note at the beginning of the book. Happily ever after guaranteed.
Genre: Romance
