The shimmering shift of tattoos over refined tendons of muscle made Linette feel like she was being hypnotized as she swept the man's card through the slot on the side of the machine, not even glancing at the amount due.

     

    "Your boss 's sick, so he leaves a little girl alone to deal with grown men all day? More of a shmuck than I thought."

     

    The genuine ebb of concern in his tone made Linette's knees feel wobbly as she handed the card back.

     

    The tip of his index finger brushed against the soft underside of her wrist as he took it from her.

     

    "I can take care of myself."

     

    When he scoffed at her it wasn't unkind so much as disbelieving.

     

    "Yeah, kid. I'm sure you think you can."

     

    OR

     

    Linette develops an innocent crush on the mysterious trucker who frequents the gas station where she works.

     

    What the girl doesn't realize is that she's caught his eye, too. Unluckily, Logan's intentions for her are far from wholesome.

     

    Abduction and love ensue.
