Off-Map Hearts

Efficiency consultant Graden Baxter finds himself stranded at a Las Vegas airport, facing the harsh reality that his professional dedication is met with nothing but disappointment from his employer. Seeking a change of pace, he accepts a cross-country drive to New York City with fellow traveler Cole Carmichael. Off-Map Hearts, Volume 1, follows these two opposites as they navigate the Southwest. While Graden relies on meticulous planning, Cole embraces a life of spontaneous nomadism. Their journey through vast parks and starry skies creates a tension that evolves into something much deeper.

This contemporary romance explores the transformative power of unexpected connections. As they traverse the landscape, the friction between Graden's structure and Cole's rootless lifestyle begins to fade, replaced by a complementary bond. Off-Map Hearts, Volume 1, examines whether two men from different worlds can maintain their connection once the road trip ends and they return to their separate lives.
