Van Life with Benefits: A feel-good, sun-soaked forced-proximity road trip romantic comedy

About this book

Lara Hart is on the brink of total burnout, so she plans the ultimate solo escape: a three-week, meticulously scheduled road trip up the stunning Western Australian coastline. Armed with an immaculate itinerary and a comprehensive first-aid kit, she is ready for peace and quiet. However, her plans hit a major roadblock when she discovers her campervan has been double-booked. Enter Jesse Reid: a barefoot, carefree, and maddeningly gorgeous free spirit who is the polar opposite of Lara’s Type-A personality. Suddenly forced into close quarters, the pair must navigate a series of hilarious mishaps, from plumbing disasters to unapproved detours. What begins as a clash of styles soon transitions into a slow-burn romance as the duo discovers that their forced proximity is leading to undeniable chemistry. Though Jesse keeps his true motivations guarded, the raw beauty of the road begins to strip away their defenses. As they trade witty banter and survive life on the road, Lara realizes that some of the best parts of life cannot be scheduled. Perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers and opposites-attract tropes, this sun-soaked romantic comedy explores the joy of new beginnings and the magic of finding love when you least expect it.
