Maxine Terrell lurches into adulthood madly in love with a woman and her child. Unfortunately, Daphne Polk is someone else's wife, and her daughter Lena is someone else's child. But Daphne's been there for her ever since Max and her father weathered a terrible tragedy, one that's still whispered about in their small Texas town. After years of hope and heartbreak, and too many lies to count, Max seems poised to settle for the various "friends with benefits" she encounters. Unexpectedly wealthy after her father's death and emotionally adrift with no idea what she really wants from life, Max decides to take to the road and signs up to become a truck driver. During her training in Lubbock, she meets Trillian--"Thrill"--and manages to screw things up from the start. After another chance encounter and a sweet kiss she can't forget, Max begins to rethink not only what, but who she really wants. As Max traverses the open road, her journey of impossible love, loss, and courage mirrors her voyage of self-discovery. But before she can look to the future, she must come to terms with the history she'd rather forget.

Socialite Elizabeth Carlton impulsively joins the Women''s Army Corps to escape love''s disappointments and her father''s attempts to control her life. Still, she has never been one to accept discipline imposed by others-not even someone as intriguing as her new sergeant. Sergeant Gale Rains is accustomed to challenges, but she''s never had a recruit quite like this one. Rains surrendered much of her Sioux heritage to the Army to escape the hardships and pain of her youth. Now a drill instructor, her calm, steady manner and firm hand have molded women from all walks of life into WACs. But not one of them has ever touched her. Why should this spoiled party girl be any different? With the whole world at war, victory is never certain as two women wage their own battles of will and desire.
