Emily Carter has everything under control—except her love life. Between long shifts at the local clinic and endless cups of caffeine, romance is the one thing she’s given up on. But fate, with its usual sense of humor, has other ideas.
When a spilled coffee leads to a run-in with Jack Dalton, the charming mechanic with grease on his hands and kindness in his eyes, Emily’s world starts to shift. What begins as a series of accidental meetings slowly turns into something real, something worth risking her guarded heart for. Jack isn’t looking for love either, but Emily’s laughter slips into his quiet life like sunlight through a garage window. Together, they navigate misunderstandings, insecurities, and the kind of chemistry that can’t be ignored.
