Road Trip From Paradise — Vanessa Gray Bartal

"The sky was filled with sunshine in Paradise, Montana the day Hazel Henry blew her top…"

Hazel Henry, the doyen of Paradise's only diner, has gone missing. Avery Reynolds, Hazel's ward and lone employee, is ready to panic until a mysterious letter arrives, declaring Hazel is in trouble and needs help. For Knox Henry, Hazel's conceited and self-centered nephew, a cross-country road trip to rescue his aunt is the last thing he wants, especially if it includes Avery, the annoying tagalong who has been doting on him for the past twenty years. Despite her worry over Hazel, Avery couldn't be more excited about the trip. Not only is it the first time she has ever gone anywhere, but she'll be with Knox, the man she has adored since she was eight years old. What could go wrong? Plenty, as it turns out. While Avery beings to discover her true worth, Knox will finally take an unflattering look in his own mirror. As their journeys intersect, each will have to make a decision: Just because their pasts are intertwined, does it mean their futures will be, too? Or is there life outside of Paradise?
