Summary
i drive down different roads but they all lead back to you…
When Mckenzie Peters joins the first national tour of Newsies, hauling a set of her own problems, she expects long, gruelling rehearsals, endless travel, and the chance to live her dream of dancing across the country. What she doesn't expect is Ben Cook. Charming, talented, and impossible to ignore, Ben quickly becomes one of the only things she looks forward too while on the road.
As friendships develop and feelings grow stronger, Mckenzie finds herself falling for him. But somewhere between late-night conversations, shared laughs, the chaos of tour life and whispers backstage, Ben realizes he's fallen even harder.
Where every city is temporary, every final bow and goodbye feels too close, they'll have to decide if what they have is worth the risk, or if some feelings are meant to stay in the cities they came to be.
