Description

Professor Ramona Sadler lost her university job, luxury townhouse, and is now a substitute teacher living in a Texas RV park. Plus, her annoying volunteer supervisor, Dr. Lonnie Acres, lives on the farm next door, a maddening coincidence because have you seen this guy? Shirtless? Holding a lamb?

Lonnie Acres may seem aloof and sometimes downright smug but, secretly, he’s dealing with heartache and a gentleman complex that he’s wanted to shake ever since he first looked into Ramona’s eyes.

When Ramona must travel to New York to assist her ailing mother and Lonnie helps tow her RV eighteen hundred miles to visit, secrets are revealed, souls are bared, and it just may be the road trip of their lifetime.

Advance Praise

Kirkus Reviews calls The Heart Hitch, "A cozy, layered second-chance romance that invites laughter and reflection."

"The author expertly balances heavier themes with humor, and a delightful cast of eccentric secondary characters pops in and out of the story. Ramona and Lonnie’s slow-burn relationship builds slowly but naturally, with just the right amount of romantic tension. It’s a straightforward road-trip romance, but also a thoughtful meditation on loss, growth, and the surprising ways that people can come into each other’s lives at just the right time."
