She ran from the altar straight into the arms of the town’s grumpiest mechanic.

Juliette Calloway wasn’t supposed to be in Juniper Falls. She was supposed to be walking down the aisle, smiling for the cameras, and saying “I do” to a man who checked every perfect box. Except the one that mattered. Instead, she’s stranded in a small-town diner, still wearing her wedding dress, with a broken-down classic Chevy and no plan.

Beckett Lawson doesn’t do damsels in distress. The gruff mechanic prefers engines over emotions and lives by one simple rule: people always leave. But when a runaway bride with big hazel eyes and nowhere to go stumbles into his world, he offers her a place to stay—against his better judgment.

She’s sunshine and spontaneity. He’s stubborn and set in his ways. She’s running from a life she doesn’t want. He’s afraid to want anything at all. But the longer she stays, the harder it is to ignore the sparks flying between them.

When her past catches up, Beck convinces himself she’s better off without him. Letting her go is easy, until he realizes he just let go of the best thing that ever happened to him.

She never wanted a perfect love. She just wanted someone to fight for her.
