Ride with Me is a scorching-hot eBook original romance by RITA finalist and New York Times bestselling author Ruthie Knox. A cross-country bike adventure takes a detour into unexplored passion, proving that this journey is definitely not about the bike!
When Lexie Marshall places an ad for a cycling companion to cross the TransAmerica Trail, she envisions someone friendly and fun. However, she's paired with Tom Geiger—a lean, sexy loner whose bad attitude threatens the adventure she's spent years planning. Despite Tom's initial reluctance and determination to keep Lexie at a distance, their undeniable chemistry leads to a kiss that ignites endless nights of passionate encounters. But as their wild ride approaches its end, the question arises: where will they go from here?
In this delightful, funny, and moving first novel, a librarian and a young boy obsessed with reading take to the road. Lucy Hull, a young children's librarian in Hannibal, Missouri, finds herself both a kidnapper and kidnapped when her favorite patron, ten-year-old Ian Drake, runs away from home.
The precocious Ian is addicted to reading, but needs Lucy's help to smuggle books past his overbearing mother, who has enrolled Ian in weekly antigay classes with celebrity Pastor Bob. Lucy stumbles into a moral dilemma when she finds Ian camped out in the library after hours with a knapsack of provisions and an escape plan.
Desperate to save him from Pastor Bob and the Drakes, Lucy allows herself to be hijacked by Ian. The odd pair embarks on a crazy road trip from Missouri to Vermont, with ferrets, an inconvenient boyfriend, and upsetting family history thrown in their path.
But is it just Ian who is running away? Who is the man who seems to be on their tail? And should Lucy be trying to save a boy from his own parents?
