Everyone else is cruising ahead—so why are they stuck in neutral?
A one-night stand, hot spring hikes, busted tires, and one bed. This road trip is about to change everything.
Sweet Autumn. Kind Autumn. Always means well, doesn't she, Autumn.
Being underestimated was something Autumn Townsend knew all too well. Sure, no one took her seriously, but they depended on her. While everyone around her moves on, Autumn remains the same—kind, chaotic, and most of all, stuck.
There was no world in which Nicolai Evjen was going to get himself into a serious relationship again. After his last one ended tragically eight years before, he had closed himself off from ever feeling that pain again. The last thing he needs is a complication.
And Autumn is the worst kind of trouble there is. She’s reckless, too young, distractingly beautiful—and his best friend’s sister.
Nico knows better than to let her anywhere near the driver’s seat. She’ll take the wheel and leave nothing behind—not his sanity, not his peace, and certainly not his heart.
But one impulsive night changes everything. Now, trapped together in an old car with a jammed Eagles tape and thousands of miles of open road, they’re forced to reconsider who they really are—and what they might be together.
When a life-changing secret comes to light, Autumn and Nico must decide how far they'll travel to make a life together or risk losing the future they never thought they wanted.
