Overview

Love at Exit 42Two different worlds. One broken-down car, and a love that arrives out of the blue. Maxwell Worthington has aviation in his blood, but his own piloting career is completely stalled. At age twenty-eight, he's stuck working a grueling, low-paying job as a flight instructor in Jacksonville, Florida, wondering if his dream of flying major commercial jets will ever take off. Returning home to Charlotte for Christmas, his mind is miles away when a sudden tire blowout leaves him stranded on the shoulder of Interstate 95 in a freezing Georgia rain. He has a trunk full of gifts, an owner's manual he can barely decipher, and a mechanical jack that refuses to cooperate. Desperate and out of options, Max utters a prayer for help. Enter Becky May Huntley. Becky is a gritty country girl from a family of North Carolina mechanics and farmers who raised her on a simple scripture: Always help someone if you can. Driving home from her beloved aunt's funeral, she spots Max's hazard lights and doesn't hesitate to pull her black Silverado over. Clad in denim overalls and scuffed work boots, Becky handles a hydraulic jack with the precision of a NASCAR pit crew, rescuing the stranded city boy in under five minutes. To say thank you, Max buys her a cup of black coffee at Buc-ee's off Exit 42 in Brunswick, Georgia, a Texas-sized roadside empire where, amidst the smell of fresh brisket and the roar of a bustling holiday crowd, an undeniable spark is born between two absolute opposites. But building a relationship means navigating the turbulent skies of their vastly different backgrounds. Max's mother is a wealthy, high-society Charlotte real estate mogul who views Becky as nothing more than a blue-collar contractor. Meanwhile, Becky's protective father and three rowdy brothers dismiss Max as a soft, helpless city slicker who can't even use a screwdriver. When a high-stakes airline interview in Denver ends in a crushing rejection, Max is ready to throw in the towel on his lifelong dream. Now, Becky must drive south to remind him exactly who he is. Can a romance forged in hardship survive the ultimate trial by fire, or will the divide between their two worlds pull them apart at the breaking point? Love at Exit 42 is a heartwarming, emotionally resonant modern romance about faith, redemption, and discovering that sometimes, the person who can help fix your broken spirit is the same one that can help you fix a tire.
