She put the brakes on any romance...

They were built for speed. Not for love.

Rusty West learned young that trusting men only leads to heartbreak. First when her mother left for a man, and then when her ex-boyfriend used her for a cruel bet.

Now her walls are bolted tight, her loyalty reserved for the women and the garage that have become her life. Love is a risk she'd never take again.

Reid Parker has sworn off love, too. Growing up with an abusive father, he learned to keep his emotions locked down and relationships short-lived. But when his rival's business starts stealing his customers, he goes to investigate and finds a flame-haired mechanic who sets his pulse racing.

He wants her shop... and her. And he'll get his hands dirty to get both.

Some rivalries spark more than competition. And this one might spin out and into something neither can deny... or control.
