Life might be a highway but the last thing this grumpy silver fox expected was a cross-country road trip with a ray of sunshine.
“My sister is driving to California. She could give you a ride.”
“What?” Tucker Ashe and I say in unison.
Mae Fox
Surely, my older sister has lost her mind. There is no way I’m driving her insufferable – albeit sexy silver fox – boss two thousand miles. This is my spirit trip. The Mother Road is intended to help me reclaim myself. Letting go of my past, I’m only looking forward to the path ahead of me.
But my gaze keeps wandering to the rearview mirror, wondering what secrets my grouchy passenger keeps and how that silver scruff might feel blazing a trail on hidden parts of me.

Tucker Ashe
Driving me from Chicago to California might be the least this ray of sunshine can do after ruining my new suit. However, being confined with her for seven days in a car named Louie is the last thing I need. Because I don’t want to think about kissing those lips singing off-key or the way she beams every time we stop for a photo-op along Route 66.
And I definitely shouldn’t consider asking her to pull over and join me in the backseat for a bit on this crazy journey where memories haunt and every mile hints at a second chance.

Join Mae and Tucker on a road trip where an eclectic soundtrack and unusual highlights along the most iconic road in the U.S. bring together two souls in need of a second chance at revving their engines, recharging their batteries, and rebuilding their dreams.
From L.B. Dunbar comes a new series of feisty vixens and the sexy silver foxes they attract.
**NOTE: The Fox sisters (Road Trips & Romance) are the siblings of Garrett Fox from Wine&Dine, an original sexy silver fox. Each book can be read as a stand-alone.
Can we talk about how amazing Tucker is?

Hey Sunshine –
It’s been months since our road trip, but I’ve been thinking about all the places we went and the sights we saw. And I’m reflecting on how the prettiest sight of all was when your face lit up at each and every stop we made. Even when I was being an ass at first, you were a ray of sunshine despite my cloudy disposition.
You asked me if the photos I took of you had a filter on them, enhancing your features somehow, but the truth is, those pictures were candid and real. The beauty coming through the screen is all you, Mae. The light in your eyes. The shine of your smile. The highlights in your hair. No camera tricks needed.
When our road trip finished, I gave you a box of souvenirs, but it seems I forgot one or two items. You had a binder with a plan and highlighted maps, but we veered off course from your trip.
I want to make it up to you.
Because real flowers don’t feel appropriate to gift my girl who owns a garden center, I present to you this bouquet of flowers made from maps of the states we visited. Paper flowers for my flower girl <wink>.
Also, here are tickets for the place we didn’t linger. We’re headed back to New Mexico, Mae, where you finally gave into me, or I gave into you. Either way, our road trip turned off course even more than it already was in that Albuquerque hotel and we’re going back to luxuriate in the beauty we missed.
Happy Valentine’s Day, my wandering spirit girl.
I look forward to a future of wandering with you.
All my love,
Tucker
L.B. Dunbar has an over-active imagination. To her benefit, such creativity has led to over thirty romance novels, including those offering a second chance at love over 40. Her signature works include the #sexysilverfoxes collection of mature males and feisty vixens ready for romance in their prime years. She’s also written stories of small-town romance (Heart Collection), rock star mayhem (The Legendary Rock Stars Series), and a twist on intrigue and redemption (Redemption Island Duet). She’s had several alter egos including elda lore, a writer of romantic magical realism through mythological retellings (Modern Descendants). In another life, she wanted to be an anthropologist and journalist. Instead, she was a middle school language arts teacher. The greatest story in her life is with the one and only, and their four grown children. Learn more about L.B.
