When almost-strangers take a road trip through America's national parks, love may be the final destination.

Maggie Matthews is desperate. What self-respecting accomplished suspense author has a two-year creative slump? Her, apparently.

Following the only seed of inspiration she has, she's set to embark on a van-life road trip. Only she's never so much as driven out of state. Out of her comfort zone and hopelessly unprepared, she needs friend of her agent and seasoned adventurer Laike Cardinal as a guide.

Laike regrets giving in and letting Maggie join her latest journey. Maggie has no concept of personal space and occupies way too much of her thoughts. If only she could drop Maggie off at the nearest airport and send her home. She'd even pay for the ticket if Maggie would go—mostly because she doesn't want to think about how much she wants Maggie to stay.
