Description
A backpacker with big plans. A flirty and insatiable sailor. Will a change in the tide bring on a shift of fate?
This is my chance! Finally, I can shake off the hold of my overprotective mother, and career obligations, and have a real adventure.
Backpacking through the Panama Canal.
Embracing my wanderlust.
It sounds like sheer bliss.
Then… I meet Eivind. The sexy, charismatic sailor invites me aboard his vessel, with the promise of breathtaking scenery and tantalizing nights as we sail to far-off ports.
Twenty-five days at sea. The prospect is equal parts terrifying and thrilling. Can I convince myself to let go and sail headlong into limitless possibilities? Or have I embarked on a journey to heartbreak?

Full of adventure and slow-burn steam, this standalone will take you to exotic tropical destinations with flirty attraction between two travelers.

Advance Praise
“The Hitchhiker in Panama is a delicious cocktail of sailing, wanderlust, exotic destinations, and steamy romance. Be warned: Once you step aboard, you may never want to leave!”
—Trish Doller, author of Float Plan
“Liz Alden has written an escapist romance for anyone who dreams about lush tropical breezes and the blue of far-off oceans. With its sunny landscapes and the steamy slow-burn between a plucky traveler and her sweet, swoony sailor, The Hitchhiker in Panama will satisfy your cravings for romance and adventure. Alden weaves lived-in details about life on the ocean with a rich cast of characters that will whisk you away on a vacation without leaving your living room.”
-Sara Whitney, RWA Golden Heart award finalist and author of the Tempt Me Series.
“I absolutely loved this book! Liz Alden paints a wonderful real-life tale of following your heart to adventure and new experiences. Set aboard a cruising sailboat, The Hitchhiker in Panama asks the question “when is it right to cash in one dream for another?” Lila is poised to backpack around South America after going through the Panama Canal on the boat; Eivind has promised to sail the South Pacific with his brother.
A cruiser herself (as I am), Alden gets all the details right and realistically portrays the options open to Lila and Eivind. Can they reconcile their commitment to different dreams? What will their happily ever after look like?
A very real story of two people who have decided to live lives less normal but still facing choices of which adventure to follow. For once, a romance novel that feels real.”
-Carolyn Shearlock, The Boat Galley
