For twenty-nine-year-old Ainsley McConnell, nothing in life has gone as planned. Now unemployed, unsuccessful, and single as ever, she hopes to get back on her feet-by way of her parents' charity, and a new employment opportunity at her dad's used car dealership.
It's far from a glamorous gig, but Ainsley soon finds her new job more fulfilling than expected-and in more ways than one. After forging an instant connection with lead mechanic Adrian Serna, she can't get the mysterious man off her mind-and when he rescues her one night from a dark alley, it only makes her desire grow deeper.
But Adrian has a secret. One that could change everything between him and the woman of his dreams. One that, if uncovered, could have explosive consequences.
Though overwhelmed by the chemistry between them, he'll do anything to keep her at arm's length, and she'll do anything to break down his walls and make him trust her. But when a public confrontation exposes the truth, Adrian is sent spiraling out of control, and Ainsley is left to question everything she ever thought she knew about love.
