She's off-limits, but he's the only one who can help her... Carla Jackson has her life all mapped out, so when her plans fall apart she's more lost than ever. A spot on the reality TV show Road Trip Race seems like the perfect escape, except she needs a partner. The only option is her brother's best friend: the man she's secretly loved forever and the last person she wants to be stuck in a car with. Tech billionaire Ryan Evans has done everything he can to put his bitter past behind him. He's avoided Carla ever since they shared a forbidden kiss six years ago, but when his best friend asks him to protect her on the show, he can't refuse-even if the biggest threat to her heart might be himself. As Carla and Ryan drive across the country while competing on the show, there's no escaping the undeniable chemistry between them. But when they're thrown off course, can they find their way home together?
