Description

He's the kind of man your mother warned you about, and the one every secret part of you craves. Ryder Monroe is a local legend—the quiet, tattooed owner of the only honest auto shop in town. With shoulders as broad as his reputation and a gaze that seems to strip you down to your soul, he’s a man of few words, content in his world of grease and steel. He moves with a calm, deliberate grace that feels like the stillness before a storm. Then you blow into his life, a hurricane of fury over your broken-down car, challenging his carefully constructed peace. You’re loud, unapologetically you, and everything he shouldn't want. An unspoken tension sparks between you in the space between revving engines and witty comebacks, a slow-burn romance waiting to ignite.
