She’s America’s First Daughter. He’s the stranger behind the wheel. And nothing about their road trip is going according to plan.
Twenty-two-year-old Ellie Hastings is tired of playing the role of the picture-perfect First Daughter. Between staged smiles, suffocating security, and a future she didn’t choose, Ellie is desperate for one thing: freedom. So when a diplomatic gala turns into the final straw, she pulls her royal best friend—the ever-charming Prince Oliver of England—into a daring escape.
Their getaway car? A catering van.
Their driver? A handsome, quietly amused waiter named Noah.
Their plan? Nonexistent.
What begins as an impulsive escape turns into a cross-country road trip packed with gas station snacks, unexpected detours, and a connection Ellie didn’t see coming. But the farther they get from the spotlight, the more Ellie has to face what she’s been dodging—her future, her feelings, and who she really wants to be when no one’s drafting her itinerary.

Tags: Romantic Comedy
Small-town teen Carter Adams has one goal in life - and it's not to eventually take over her mom's dance studio. She wants her coworker Jared Green to fall romantic movie-level in love with her. The only problem is she's been banished so far into the friend-zone that her crush barely notices she's a girl, much less the girl of his dreams.
It's not until teen movie star Liam Taylor, in town filming an adaptation of Cinderella, from a mob of fans, that she thinks she's found her solution. If Liam will use his rom-com knowledge to set up scenarios for Jared to fall for her, she'll teach him to dance like the pro he bluffed he was to land the role of Prince Charming. Between clandestine dance rehearsals and flirting lessons, Carter finds herself feeling like a real-life Cinderella. Can Carter embrace her leading-lady status before production shuts down on her happily ever after?
