One Night With The Mechanic

A Steamy Forbidden Age Gap Romance

She came home to rebuild her life. She didn't expect to fall for the one man she was never supposed to want.

After a brutal divorce leaves her broke and broken, twenty-eight-year-old Bailey returns to her hometown with nothing but a suitcase and a bruised heart. Her father offers her a job at his automotive garage, a place filled with noise, grease…and Ridge.
At forty-five, Ridge is steady, reserved, and respected. He's also her father's most trusted mechanic—and completely off-limits.
He's everything she shouldn't crave. He keeps his distance, even as their chemistry simmers in every shared task and lingering glance. But beneath his restraint is a man who listens, who believes in her, and who makes Bailey feel alive again.
Her father wants something different for her. He pushes Julian her way, the boy-next-door who's adored Bailey since high school. He's a safe choice, and Bailey tries to follow the path laid out for her.
But one forbidden night with Ridge shatters every carefully built wall. What was meant to end the ache only makes it impossible to ignore. And when her father discovers the truth and fires Ridge on the spot, Bailey is forced to face the one question she's avoided her entire life.
Who is she living for?
Because starting over doesn't mean playing it safe. It means claiming the love that makes you feel alive.

One Night With The Mechanic is a standalone steamy contemporary romance packed with forbidden love, forced proximity, age gap heat, and one hot night that refines what starting over really means.
