A witty tale of ambition, friendship, and the delicate balance between chasing one’s dreams while holding on to what matters most.

Eleanor Wild has it all—except for a single good idea.

As a bestselling author with a bad case of writer’s block and a family on the brink of mutiny, Eleanor agrees to a family vacation in Las Vegas. But instead of relaxation, she finds herself sitting next to Sam Sutton, a twenty-three-year-old aspiring author with a knack for both storytelling and oversharing.

What starts as a mid-flight chat turns into an unlikely friendship, with Sam’s raw enthusiasm and bold ideas sparking the creative fire Eleanor thought she’d lost forever. But as their collaboration takes off, so do the complications. Between her neglected family, Sam’s growing resentment of her own struggling dreams, and a moral gray area that grows darker by the day, Eleanor’s balancing act is starting to look more like a high-stakes gamble.

Set against the neon-lit chaos of Las Vegas, Eleanor & Sam explores the complexities of ambition, the struggle for balance, and the power of second chances—proving that what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay there…especially when it’s your career and family on the line.
