Her passions stay under the hood. He vowed never to date a friend.

But when desire hits the redline, will love make it to the finish line?

Mia St. James loves putting her brilliant engineer's brain to good use with high-performance race-cars. Looking for a fresh start after her lying ex stole credit for her work, the talented professional joins a women-led team as stock racing's only female crew chief. And still feeling the sting of betrayal, the last thing she needs is to move in with the drawling charmer who turned his back on their college friendship.

Gus Quinlan buries his guilt deep inside. So when the mechanic beauty who's always challenged his thinking moves in, he's amazed by the overwhelming protective urges and heart-stopping attraction she sparks. But his lifelong resistance to romance has left him without a toolbox for dealing with their fiery kisses and growing intimacy.

Unwilling to become another victim of his like-them-and-leave-them lifestyle, Mia draws a line in the sand over their future. But when Gus goes into an emotional tailspin, his explosive need to blame someone for his pain could send their dreams up in flames.

Will their chance at forever crash and burn, or can they shift into happily ever after?
