1,600 miles. A vintage muscle car. And a devastatingly observant passenger who knows exactly how to make him unravel. Nate Cordero’s life is a perfectly optimized supply chain. As an operations director, he has seven morning alarms, a color-coded closet, and absolutely zero time for a relationship. When he agrees to drive a pristine 1969 Camaro from Denver to Savannah as a favor to a friend, he thinks it will be a quiet, highly regimented escape from his stressful reality. He didn't plan on his friend's younger brother calling shotgun. Wes Nakamura is a free-spirited photographer who lives for the unpredictable in-between moments. He is patient, entirely unbothered by schedules, and sees right through Nate’s rigidly controlled exterior. When an unexpected traffic jam in Kansas leads to a moment of shocking physical intimacy, the tension simmering in the small cabin of the classic car finally boils over. Wes has a talent for dismantling Nate’s carefully constructed defenses—with a steady hand, a low voice, and a penchant for praise that brings Nate to his knees. But as the miles tick down and the destination approaches, Nate has to decide whether to return to his carefully managed, high-pressure existence... or take a permanent detour into the unknown with the man who taught him how to finally let go. Cruise Control is a high-heat, opposites-attract MM romance featuring forced proximity, a cross-country road trip, serious praise, and a guaranteed Happily Ever After.
