It took almost two decades for Charlotte Andrews to heal enough from her traumatic past to venture out into the world again. Now she is ready to go public as Charley, the real woman behind her successful online persona and become all she is meant to be. To prove to herself she can do it she sets out on a fun, cross-country tour determined to reclaim her life while celebrating Canada's 150th birthday. Her plans did not include a passenger but the troubled ex-Mountie, Garrison Clarke, needs a ride and saying no isn't an option. Garry has secrets and a painful past. This jaunt across the country with the irreverent Charley might be exactly what he needs. Maybe it's what she needs also. Their road trip is spontaneous, fun and at times wrought with emotion. Then, just when they start to connect, an act of carelessness creates a huge rift between them. Is there a way to make amends or is the mistake too big to forgive? Will Garry's anger and hurt cause him to return to a place that had once almost killed him? Will Charley just give up and go back into hiding where life was so much easier? Accompany this unlikely pair as they set out to explore the country, yet discover themselves, on the road trip of a lifetime in Charley through Canada.
