Wanderlust

wanderlust
/ˈwɒndəlʌst/
noun
'a strong desire to travel'

When her best friend bails out last minute on the road trip they'd been planning for months, Astraea is determined to go, with or without best friend. And who better than her colleague, tall, loud, boisterous and handsome Axton?

Astraea is only twenty four, but has been dreaming about this road-trip for years. Axton, on the other hand, hates travelling, and has never stepped foot outside of the state in all his twenty four years.
She's convinced him to come-can she convince him to love?
