  "In 1955, a young TV producer named David Attenborough was approached by six recent graduates from Oxford and Cambridge universities determined to drive the entire length of Eurasia, as it was then known, from London to Singapore. Many tried this before, but none succeeded. Sensing this time might be different, Attenborough gave The Oxford and Cambridge Far Eastern Expedition enough film reels to cover their attempt. The 19,000-mile journey completed by Tim Slessor and the team was told in Attenborough's Travellers' Tales and captivated a nation emerging from postwar austerity. Tim's book, The First Overland, was published shortly after and soon became the Bible of the overlanding religion. Inspired by Attenborough's comment fifty years on that it was a journey ""that I don't think could be made again today,"" Alex made contact with now eighty-six-year-old Tim, and together they planned an epic recreation of the original trip, this time from Singapore to London. With their improbable team and the prospect of getting the original Oxford, their goal was to complete the heroic journey that started more than sixty years earlier. In awe of the unstoppable Tim, and haunted by his own grandfather's deterioration due to tragedy and then dementia, Alex soon finds himself on the defining trip of his life and discovers how the world has changed for better, and for worse, since the First Overland..."

  Falling in love was not in their wedding vows… 
   
  Loren Cane is in a downward spiral. Since her fiancé left her, she’s been juggling multiple jobs, mounting bills, and a father who’s slipping away. The only thing she has left is the found family that anchors her. 
   
  Namely, Bridger Adams. 
   
  Bridger has been hiding his secret wealth, his powerful influence, and the brutal condition attached to both: Walk down the aisle with a woman chosen for him, or sacrifice control of the trust fund that could save everything he cares about. 
   
  Especially Loren Cane. 
   
  Loren knows she can’t afford to lose Bridger. But as his deadline looms, her situation turns critical, and she proposes something outrageous: 
   
  Marry me instead. 
   
  On the surface, her solution is practical and mutually beneficial. Their wedding vows conveniently protect what matters most. 
   
  But as the boundaries of their friendship blur into something dangerously real, a new demand threatens to tear them apart. 
   
  Now, Loren and Bridger face an impossible choice: 
   
  Stay married and fight for love… 
   
  Or walk away with the money and lose each other.
