Raven Sawyer was anything but stupid. 
When she found out the man she dumped for being a prick was part of the mob, she heeded the police’s warning to lay low. She’d gotten a rental car and drove, with no direction where she was going except away.
She was managing fine, until her car broke down. Alone on a deserted dirt road, she began to walk, only to get almost hit by a truck. 
…And Jackson was a mighty fine truck.
Sometimes, all a city girl needed was a southern man, a small town, and an escape from a dangerous criminal to find happiness.
Note: this is a stand alone, companion short story in the Distracted series. As an optional read, it takes place between Global Distraction (book 2) and Southern Distraction (book 3, coming soon). No prior reading is necessary.
