When two young strangers traveling on a luxury train are stranded together, they discover an irresistible attraction while befriending a ninety-year-old man who inspires their sweeping romance.

Elliot is an aspiring filmmaker who doesn’t believe in love. Not anymore. Not after his college boyfriend of four years cheated on him. To distract Elliot from his summer slump, his older brother invites him on a weeklong vacation aboard the Budapest Express, an ultraluxury sleeper train with fine dining, flowing champagne, and stunning European vistas.

Also a distraction? The friendly and flirty Heath, a handsome London pianist. Despite Elliot’s caution, day trips along Austrian cobblestones and up storybook mountains have him warming to Heath’s advances.

But when an older passenger with a heartbreaking secret causes them to miss their strict departure window, the unlikely trio is left behind.

The race to catch up to the train is on, but no matter how fast they travel, there are some truths they’ll never escape. And the chemistry between Elliot and Heath is too special to be a missed connection.
