It Happened on Route 66 : Wild Rose Press : 9781509252701 : 1509252703 : 18 Mar 2024 : When Joel Tyler drove away from the factory to pick up the load of his rejected creation, the last thing he expected to see was a hitchhiking bride. He didn't have time for this. Besides, he had enough troubles of his own without picking up more. But he couldn't leave her on the side of the road. Maddy Hayden was exhausted. She'd run away from a terrible situation without a plan or a destination. Hitchhiking was a bad idea. Worse was getting in a truck with a man traveling alone. He was probably a serial killer. Whatever. It was a suitable end to this day. When two people who are having the worst day of their lives meet, they can either crash and burn, or save each other.
