“No. I would have thought April would have called to check up.”
    “Cell reception is in and out in this area. We’re in the middle of nowhere until we get to Abilene. We should be there in the next hour or so.”
    “So what’s it like there?”
    Daniel rested his head against the cushion. “It’s nice. The property is huge and stretches for several miles. The home is...it’s nice.”
    “Why do you say it like that?” Nora asked.
    “It’s not where I grew up, but it’s home now,” he replied after a long moment. Home was where your family was—even if they didn’t necessarily want you there.
    “Where did you grow up?”
    “Guymon, Oklahoma,” Daniel murmured, tapping his fingers on the center console.
    “What brought you to Texas then? The war?” Nora asked, quietly.
    Daniel closed his eyes. “Yeah.”
    “I’m sorry.”
    “Me too.”

    N ora looked over at the sleeping man next to her. His head was slumped against the window. A low rhythmic whistle accompanied his breathing. He was rugged and manly. Daniel hadn’t been overly friendly to her, but he hadn’t been mean either. She had a feeling he kept everyone at arm’s length and it wasn’t just her. She liked him—maybe too much. He had been honest with her, and of course, he’d saved her. Not to mention, the wolf was somewhat good to look at.
    Daniel cleared his throat, his head lolling toward her. Nora averted her gaze, not wanting to be caught ogling him. Shifting her focus to the rearview mirror, she sighed as a car whipped around the corner and quickly approached them. Nora steered the vehicle toward the berm, giving them enough room to pass. The car pulled up behind hers. It was so close; she couldn’t even make out the license plate.
    “Just go around,” she grumbled, easing off the gas.
    “What’s wrong?” Daniel asked sitting up in his seat.
    A crunch sounded and Nora was thrust forward, her seatbelt tightened like a vice around her. Nora screamed as Daniel’s hand shot out, grabbing the wheel to keep them from careening off the side of the road.
    “Keep your foot on the gas,” he ordered.
    “What?” Nora gasped turning to look out the back window. A shrill shriek pierced the air, and it took her a moment to realize it was coming from her. The bronze vehicle behind them rammed them again. Daniel’s firm grip on the wheel was the only thing keeping the car under control. “They’re going to run us off the road,” Nora squeaked as the car darted to the side and pulled up beside them.
    Her hands flew to the wheel, entwining with Daniel’s. His muscles rippled beneath his hold as he fought to keep the car on the road. Nora thrust the pedal all the way down to the floorboard. The driver in the bronze car swerved nailing the side. Her Cavalier's tires screeched as her door crumpled in and the front end shot to the right.
    Together, her and Daniel whipped the wheel to the left, but it was too late. The car flew off the road, rolling down a small embankment. The uneven terrain caused the car to tilt as the bumps and divots in the ground jarred them. Her car dipped down into a deep rut on her side, and she was thrown into the window as the car came to an abrupt halt. A pop sounded, and something white puffed out at her. Nora shoved the air bag out of her face. The car was filled with a cloud of smoke, and she coughed as she blinked her eyes.
    “Get out,” Daniel instructed, his seat belt already off and door open.
    Nora nodded, unbuckling, her hand already on the door latch. Moving the handle, she shoved on the unmoving exit. “It’s not opening,” she sputtered.
    Her heart hammered in her chest as she looked out her window. Three men were making their way through the ditch. She swallowed, desperately lifting the latch.
    A warm hand wrapped around her middle and tugged her into a firm chest. The other hand reached into her cup holder, grabbing her white iPhone.
    “I got you,” Daniels soothing voice answered.
    Nora
