A naughty romantic comedy about an introverted man at a crossroads in his life, and the spirited young woman he picks up on the side of a Texas highway. The unlikely duo embark on a life-changing adventure filled with laughter, tears, and steamy nights. But what happens when they reach their destination, and they aren't ready to say goodbye? Axel: I just turned forty, stumbling headfirst into a mid-life crisis the moment I entered the dreaded decade of middle age. I'm supposed to be making this cross-country trip alone. I need the solitude to work through some stuff and get my head screwed on straight. The last thing I want is a flighty chick riding shotgun. Dallas: I can never go back home. I'm on the run from a life I didn't choose. I know hitchhiking is dangerous, but I don't have any other options. The hairy old dude driving the hearse seems harmless. His aura is clear. And he can take me all the way to Florida. The Hitchhiker is a steamy, age gap, road trip romance, delivering a heartwarming tale of love when you least expect it. HEA guaranteed.
