Built to Last (Hidden Hearts #1‪)‬

A one-week road trip. Two commitment-phobes. Zero chance of falling in love… right?

Max Carmichael is finally this close to his big break—a shot at working with a legendary music producer. But before he can prove he's more than just a band manager, he has to hit the road and scout new talent. The gig pays well—money he desperately needs to help his struggling family. The catch? He has to travel with a fiery American redhead who tests his patience—and his self-control. Max doesn't do redheads. Or relationships. Ever.

Althea Grayson is all about good food, good music, and zero drama. After years of living off the grid on Santorini, she's ready to return to San Francisco and open the inclusive restaurant of her dreams. This road trip gig is the ticket—literally. All she has to do is survive seven days on the road with a broody British taskmaster who makes her want to scream… or climb him like a tree.

They've got nothing in common—except sizzling chemistry, emotional baggage, and a growing realization that maybe love isn't the detour they feared. Maybe it's the destination.

Built to Last is a standalone romance featuring beloved secondary characters from the Indigo Series—but you don't have to read those books first to enjoy the ride.
