There are no rules this cruel summer...
"I think we should see other people..." That one sentence unravels Samantha Parker's perfect life. She has a loving husband, three wonderful kids and a comfortable suburban lifestyle. But on the brink of their long-awaited empty-nest chapter, Will asks Samantha for something she never dreamed of: an open marriage.
Desperate to keep her husband happy, Samantha proposes a summerlong separation with no contact. She knows she has to use the opportunity to find herself, but she also has no interest in being with anyone but Will. She's confident when the season is over, they'll get back together like this time never happened.
Then Sam gets an offer of adventure from an unlikely source: Logan Martin, a classic-car restorer who happens to be Will's best friend, asks Sam to help him drive across the country to make deliveries. Logan and Sam have never had an easy relationship. He's prickly, aloof and a little too handsome. And as they traverse the winding roads and breathtaking backdrops of North America, her changing connection with Logan challenges everything she believed she wanted in life, love and passion. When her summer with Logan is up, will she go home to the familiar stability of her past...or choose the thrilling uncertainty of her future?

      Just when Samantha Parker thinks she and husband Will are finally heading into happy, romantic empty-nest adventures, her husband tells her he wants an open marriage. They had married when she became pregnant in high school, and stayed together to raise a family with three children. And now she has to come to terms with a possible end to their marriage. She agrees to spend the summer apart. While he goes on his own adventures (and she's sure that he'll come back to her afterwards), she will find herself. She agrees to help his best friend, Logan, deliver his classic cars cross-country throughout the summer. But Logan forces Sam to look at her choices and at the cracks in her life that she has been ignoring: she begins to wonder what her life could look like if she put herself first. This emotional story is primarily about dealing with expectations and moving through grief, but the romance between Sam and Logan is both steamy and satisfying.
