A swoony friends to lovers, small town romance from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix!

A road trip with some serious complications.

I'm a) broke, b) abandoned by my sort-of-boyfriend, c) soooo done with men.

I'm hitchhiking across the country on the way back to my small hometown. I'll pass on the lecture about safety. Heard it times ten. I can take care of myself. Then, I run into Mack Blair.

Mack is one of my brother's best friends, and we grew up together. He's also bossy and annoying and will not leave me alone. Just what I need. An alpha man who thinks he can tell me what to do.

Now, we're traveling together, and, um, I'm having a problem. Mack is hot. Like make-me-forget-how-awful-men-are hot. Any suggestions on how not to tackle him?

Things get complicated on a whole new level when I discover an unexpected surprise.

Ash & Mack's story is perfect for readers who love small town romance, firefighters, broody alpha heroes, smart sassy heroines, friends to lovers, surprise pregnancy slow burn, emotional romance with a dash of angst, plenty of swoon, and a deeply protective grumpy hero.

*A full-length, standalone romance.
