"Stop talking and kiss me."
She froze. A deer in his headlights.
And then she laughed, shaking her head, loosening his hold. "You almost had me."

It didn't feel simple. It felt complex and intense and terrifying.
Sometimes what you find when you come back home isn't always what you remember.
Harmony Valley's bad boy Joe Messina is back, returning to his hometown with his daughter in tow and trying desperately to straighten his image and life out.
Between trying to resurrect his grandfather's defunct garage and be a responsible single father to Sam, he really doesn't have a lot of patience for the feisty artist Brittany Lambridge.
Brittany gets into his hair. Literally. Joe thinks her upcycling art is blasphemous, refusing to let her get the auto parts that she wants.
When the stubborn pair begins to realise they have more in common than they thought it's more than the just sparks in the garage that begin flying.
From USA TODAY bestselling author Melinda Curtis, a story about two people retracing their steps, letting go of their ghosts, and learning to heal and love again.
