Road Trip Rules: No bad music. No detours. No falling in love.
Ash Campbell has been in love with Hazel Elliot since high school. Now, at the same college, their interactions are limited to playful feuding over the best chair in their favourite coffee shop.
But Ashs attraction to the prickly girl from home has only grown stronger.
And when these frenemies are forced to drive back to their hometown of Locket Prairie, Texas, together for Christmas, the pair must endure not only each other but bad music, inclement weather, and B&Bs with only one bed
