The Relationship Mechanic

There's more than one way to love and more than one place to call home in this rousing small-town romantic comedy that's sure to charm fans of Hannah Bonam-Young's Next to You and Ashley Herring Blake's Iris Kelly Doesn't Date

There's no fix for a lonely heart like a little TLC...

Jessica Jae-un Miller came to Peach Blossom, Georgia, for a visit, not a breakdown. But when her rental car dies on the outskirts of town, mechanic Lavenia "Vini" Williams provides a tow--and a very welcome jump start to Jessica's heart. It's been a minute since Jessica's last fling--her relationship specialty--and Vini checks all the right boxes. If only the sexy car whisperer seemed interested...

Vini knows herself and what she wants. She loves her job, her family, her hometown--but she'd love to fall in love. Jessica stirs up all the right feelings, but the city girl has no intention of staying in Peach Blossom. Why sign up for a broken heart?

But the temptation is real as Vini goes out of her way to drive a carless Jessica around town. The pair can't seem to keep their distance--or their hands to themselves. With only six weeks to figure out where their red-hot chemistry might lead, Vini and Jessica will have to decide if home can be where the heart is when the heart only knows how to run.

From showing up to glowing up, the characters in Afterglow Books are on the path to leading their best lives and finding sizzling romance along the way. Don't miss any of these other fun titles...
