Rules of the Road


Joan Bauer - 1998
    Standing a gawky 5'11" at 16 years old, Jenna is the kind of girl most likely to stand out in the crowd for all the wrong reasons. But that doesn't stop Madeline Gladstone, the president of Gladstone's Shoes 176 outlets in 37 states, from hiring Jenna to drive her cross country in a last ditch effort to stop Elden Gladstone from taking over his mother's company and turning a quality business into a shop-and-schlock empire. Now Jenna Boller shoe salesperson is about to become a shoe-store spy as she joins her crusty old employer for an eye-opening adventure that will teach them both the rules of the road and the rules of life.

Kathleen Lawless - 1998
    AN ESCAPED CONVICT. AN OVERZEALOUS LAWMAN.

Little does she anticipate the depth of feelings kindled by life on the run with her fugitive, or the secrets he hides. When the prison wagon transporting Judson crashes, he flees, determined to prove he is innocent of his wife’s murder. The wounded subject of a two-state manhunt, Jud reluctantly accepts the help of the lovely Maddie, never expecting the attraction that grows between them, or what surprises their quest will reveal. Shocked to discover the identity of his wife’s murderer, Judson feels he can trust no one. Not even Maddie, the one woman who holds his life and his heart in her hands. Until, with Maddie’s life in danger, Jud is forced to choose between the woman he loves or his freedom.
