About this book

When Rita's cross-country road trip with her estranged siblings hits a literal roadblock in the middle of nowhere, the last thing she expects is a charming motorcycle-riding rescue in the form of Jasper Ellis—the town's notorious bad boy with a heart that's anything but hardened. Their chemistry is instantaneous and undeniable, sparking something real between two people who've both been misjudged by their circumstances. With only a few days to convince Rita he's not just a fleeting moment of excitement, Jasper sets out to show her that sometimes the best things in life are the ones you never see coming. It's a laugh-out-loud, swoon-worthy journey about second chances, finding yourself, and discovering that maybe—just maybe—forever is waiting on the side of a New Mexico highway.

“Create a playlist called Too Hot to Handle. Sultry indie-pop and R&B with infectious energy—sun-soaked desert drives, witty banter, and electric tension. Mix confident vocals (Lizzo, SZA vibes) with charming indie-rock swagger. Build from playful chemistry to undeniably sensual heat. Contemporary, flirty, impossibly steamy.”
