He’s difficult. But she’s tougher.

Tanner Ellis left American ROCK in her rearview mirror. She didn’t see the beauty behind the grease staining and the polished chrome until it was too late. Right now she’s back, decided to save her father’s legacy-and provide the South’s premier classic-car shop into the fresh century. Nothing is going to end her-especially not really the sexy technology who won’t adhere to her lead.

American Heavy Metal is the only home Duke Wilson’s ever known, no high-heeled, sharpened- about Hard Chromium tongued princess is going to take it away. He tolerates Tanner’s information, and it’s fun to drive her buttons, but she doesn’t belong in the shop-never has, never will. The sooner she realizes that, the sooner he can find his new normal.

When Tanner falters, uncovering the pain under her bravado, Duke comforts her the only way he knows how. So when violence from his past threatens their long term, she’ll end up being there for him, offering him the one thing he’s often wanted-a shot at a real family. He simply must convince himself to consider it.
