Chloe Kensington has spent her entire life being perfect. Perfect daughter. Perfect fiancée. Perfect future political wife.
So when her billionaire fiancé tells her that even volunteering at a community kitchen is too embarrassing for his family's image, something inside her finally snaps.
Minutes before her wedding, Chloe leaves behind the diamond ring, the couture gown, and the life everyone else chose for her.
Then she climbs into the back of a stranger's food truck.
Jackson Vance is a grumpy, tattooed, fiercely private former Michelin-star chef who has no interest in runaway brides—especially when that bride happens to be the fiancée of the powerful man who just cheated him out of thousands of dollars.
But when Chloe's fiancé threatens to destroy Jackson's business unless he brings her back, the two make a desperate deal.
He'll drive her to Virginia.
She'll work on his food truck.
And neither of them will fall in love.
Obviously, that last part doesn't go according to plan.
Trapped together in a sweltering food truck, Chloe discovers she has a natural talent for cooking and baking—and Jackson discovers that the sheltered socialite he dismissed as a princess is actually brave, stubborn, hilarious, and impossible to resist.
Between chaotic food festivals, roadside motels, stolen moments, and one unforgettable storm, their forced proximity turns into undeniable chemistry.
But just when Chloe finally believes she has found a man who sees her instead of the image she represents, her former fiancé finds them.
To protect Jackson from losing everything, Chloe makes a devastating choice.
She goes back.
But this time, she isn't the frightened bride who ran away.
She's ready to fight.
When Chloe uncovers a plan to destroy Jackson's business, she takes her story straight to national television—and blows up the powerful political dynasty that tried to control her.
Then she walks away for good.
No billionaire.
No penthouse.
No rescue.
Just Chloe, a battered step-van, her grandmother's support, and a dream that finally belongs to her.
She builds The Getaway, a sunshine-yellow mobile bakery from the ground up.
And when Jackson finally finds her, he doesn't ask her to come back to his world.
He offers her something better.
A partnership.
A little competition.
And a lifetime as his co-pilot.
Because Chloe doesn't need a hero to save her.
She needs a man who will stand beside her while she saves herself.
The Getaway Van is a steamy contemporary romance featuring a runaway bride, grumpy chef, sunshine heroine, forced proximity, road-trip romance, slow-burn chemistry, protective hero, emotional healing, and a hard-won happily-ever-after.
