Reading romance novels can get you killed. Just ask Buck.
(Note: "The Truth of What You've Become" is a short story. It's also available in the author's 10-story collection, Daggyland #1.)

This short story first appeared in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine.
Buck is a truck driver with a heart of gold. On those long drives to nowhere, he keeps himself entertained in his rig listening to audiobooks of steamy romance novels.
Millions of miles, thousands of heaving bosoms and steamy courtships have worked their magic on ol' Buck's heart. He's just a tad too gentle for this cruel world.
When he crosses paths with a mysterious young woman at a truck stop, sweetness turns deadly in a heartbeat.
Can a good man survive? Or is this the day Buck's happily ever after ends for good?
