Synopsis
If someone
had told me a year ago that I was about to fall in love, go on an epic road
trip, ride a Triceratops, sing on a bar, and lose my virginity, I would have
assumed they were on drugs.
Well, that
is, until I met Beckham.
Beck was
mostly to blame for my recklessness. Gorgeous, clever, undeniably charming Beck
barreled into my life as if it were his mission to make sure I never took
living for granted. He showed me that there were no boundaries, rules were for
the spineless, and a kiss was supposed to happen when I least expected.
Beck was
the plot twist that took me by surprise. Two months before I met him, death was
knocking at my door. I’d all but given up my last scrap of hope when suddenly,
I was given a second chance at life. This time around, I wasn’t going to let it
slip through my fingers.
We set out
on a road trip with nothing to lose and no guarantees of tomorrow.
Our road
trip was about young, reckless love. The kind of love that burns bright.
The kind
of love that no road-map could bring me back from.

Excerpt
"I grabbed
my first bag and opened my front door to find Beck standing a few feet outside.
I took in his messy brown hair, white t-shirt, and dark jeans. Why did a white
t-shirt look so good on him? Maybe because it was fitted enough to show off his
toned body without being obnoxiously tight? I wasn’t quite sure.
He didn’t
say anything at first. His hazel eyes scanned down my body, lingering a moment
longer on my bare legs, and then he looked back up at me with a wide, perfectly
straight smile.
“Is that
all you’re bringing?” he asked, pointing at the smallest of my three bags.
“Hah! Yeah
right, I have like ten times more stuff.”
He shook
his head and narrowed his eyes on me playfully. “I like a girl with baggage,
Abby Mae. Keeps things interesting.”
His
comment was too much; it stripped away my normal sarcastic responses. I was
left with nothing but the bag in my hand, so I tossed it at him. He had to
think fast and catch it before it fell to the ground at his feet.
“Good.
Help me load it up then,” I smirked, and then turned to collect the rest of my
stuff.
“Don’t
forget to go to the bathroom! We aren’t stopping until we’re out of hell!” he
called behind me.
“You mean
Dallas?” I asked over my shoulder.
“Exactly!”
******
I was
sitting in the passenger seat in Beck’s old, yellow VW Camper. It had been
renovated recently, so the inside was all new leather, but it still had a lot
of the classic details.
Our stuff
fit easily in the back and he wasn’t kidding about there being space to sleep.
We’d have to be really close, but there was definitely room. My face
reddened at the thought.
I wedged
the urn between my feet so that it wouldn’t tip over, and then buckled my seat
belt. When I looked up, Beck was watching me with a bemused smile. My hand
instinctively slid over my side braid and my face. I didn’t feel anything out
of the ordinary.
“What?” I
asked.
He shook
his head, but his grin never faltered. “Nothing. Just trying to remember this
moment.”
I furrowed
my brows in wonder and tilted my head. The sun shone through the windshield of
the Camper, highlighting the green details in his eyes. Beck wasn’t movie-star
good-looking; he was boy-next-door good-looking— the kind of guy that might not
know the full extent of his effect on the female population.
“Why?” I
asked.
“Because
our lives will never be the same.”
A small
dimple formed on the corner of his mouth before he turned toward the steering
wheel and pulled out of my apartment complex.
That
dimple was the first thing I told myself to remember about the road trip.
Just as we
turned onto the entrance for the highway, I peered over at Beck. “Just so you
know, my faith in humanity is dangling by a few threads. If you murder me, I’ll
pretty much lose all hope.”
I couldn’t
keep the hint of a smile from my lips.
He nodded.
“And if you murder me?”
I
shrugged. “That would just be a good plot twist.”
