Highways and Scandals

He went viral for all the wrong reasons. Now he's being driven across the country by the one man who can't stand him.

Adrian Fontaine has spent his entire life performing perfection. As the heir to the Fontaine luxury empire, he knows how to smile for cameras, pose at charity galas, and pretend he isn't drowning under the weight of expectations. But when a single spectacular meltdown at a Manhattan event explodes across social media, the world turns on him-and the paparazzi won't stop hunting.

After every safe house in New York City is exposed, his family makes a drastic decision: hide him as far away as possible.

Enter Zane Hayes. Ex-con. Ex-enforcer. Stoic, quiet, and dangerously unimpressed. He's hired to escort Adrian across the country to a private West Coast safe house-no flights, no stops, no excuses. Just forty-something hours in a car with a spoiled, infuriating rich boy who talks too much and knows too little about the world outside penthouse windows.

Adrian hates his new babysitter.
Zane hates his new job.
And the highway doesn't care.

But as danger shadows their route and old secrets catch up to them both, the road becomes the one place where their defenses start to crack. Between late-night confessions, close calls, and the kind of silence that says more than words ever could, Adrian and Zane realize they're not just running from the world-they're running straight into each other.
