Driven: An Accidental Romance
By Hank Dolworth
A Recipe For Disaster:
Take a violent Texas Thunderstorm, add a mistaken Uber, and mix in a jilted young woman and a jaded older man. Set the heat on high. Let them simmer through a road trip halfway across the country. What could happen?
Maddie: I’m at the top of the world after I aced my last college exam. I’m ready to slip into my fiance’s arms and get ready for our wedding. Everything comes to a halt, and I can’t believe what I see and hear in my apartment. Full of murderous rage...

A Recipe For Disaster:
Take a violent Texas Thunderstorm, add a mistaken Uber, and mix in a jilted young woman and a jaded older man. Set the heat on high. Let them simmer through a road trip halfway across the country. What could happen?
Maddie: I’m at the top of the world after I aced my last college exam. I’m ready to slip into my fiance’s arms and get ready for our wedding. Everything comes to a halt, and I can’t believe what I see and hear in my apartment. Full of murderous rage, I know I have to leave—NOW. I don’t want to go to prison for a double homicide. I have my honeymoon money, so I can fly anywhere in the world if I can make it to the airport. My day goes from worse to horrible as a Texas thunderstorm soaks me to the bone as I wait for my Uber. I want to catch a break. Why can’t something good happen to me?
Elliott: The divorce papers are signed, sealed, and delivered, and I’m ready to change scenery. I need to get out of Texas—NOW. I toss the last of my luggage into the back of my new black SUV and climb into the driver’s seat. The sky erupts, and the storm clouds empty onto the roof of my car. That can’t stop me, lights on, wipers on high, and head toward the highway. Slamming on the brakes, I swear at the figure who just stepped in front of my car. While catching my breath, the shadowy figure opens my door and slides into my back seat. I turn to give the idiot a piece of my mind, and words evaporate when I look into her eyes. Why can't I look away?
Struggling with the end of their relationships, thrust together by the circumstance of weather and too stubborn to admit their mistakes, Maddie and Elliott agree to team up for a drive to California. They can have spicy fun along the way, they don’t have to commit, their agreement has a time limit, and it ends in California.
They just need to get over their hurts and learn to trust again. Everything will be just fine.
