She’s running from a life she never wanted. He’s stuck in a life that’s not his own. Neither of them is looking for love—but love might be looking for them.​

​

Trauma surgeon Fallon Harbor didn’t plan to get her car stuck on a Texas beach or have her smart mouth earn her a job at the local garage. But desperate times… with a new name and a very real need to stay off the grid, her only goal is hiding from her manipulative should-be-ex-husband.

 

The infuriatingly attractive mechanic who’s way too invested in her bald tires and personal safety?

 

Not part of the plan.

​

Harry Buchanan has one rule: no damsels in distress. They’re always trouble—especially the kind with sharp tongues, mysterious pasts, and legs for days. But when Fallon shows up with a knack for engines and enough sass to rival his own, Harry’s world gets a little louder, a little messier... and a lot more interesting.

​

Working side by side, Fallon and Harry trade jabs, secrets, and lingering looks. She’s learning to stand on her own two feet. He’s learning that letting someone in might not be the worst idea. 

Until Harry unwittingly leaks her location to her ex. With her safety shattered and trust broken, Fallon must face the fallout of Harry’s well-meaning betrayal—and decide if forgiving him is worth the risk of loving him.

​

A grumpy mechanic. A runaway doctor. One tiny town full of nosy charm and second chances. Perfect for fans of slow-burn chemistry, found family, emotional healing, and falling in love where you least expect it.

​

If you love Nicholas Sparks level angst and Sarah Adams level humor, Harry and Fallon's happily ever after will keep you up past your bedtime.
