A guarded motorcycle mechanic. A sunshine radio host. One utility-closet studio. Forty-seven rules. Six weeks. One garage that will not survive either of them unchanged.

Bex Hartley, radio host on her last chance
She came to Copper Ridge after blowing up her career on a live mic, and six weeks broadcasting from Wolfe’s Custom Garage is supposed to be the reset that saves her. She wants to rebuild her future, prove she belongs, and turn a broom closet into the best show in town. She refuses to let a gruff mechanic, a bare bulb, and a pointed message make her small again.

Cage Navarro, motorcycle mechanic and garage owner
He rebuilt his shop and his life after betrayal, and he likes his world ordered, quiet, and built for one. He wants to survive the club’s six-week media deal without letting anyone too close to what matters. He cannot stop noticing the woman who turns his insult into ratings, his guard dog into a traitor, and his carefully managed garage into the one place he is no longer in control.

Tropes you get
✅ Grumpy/sunshine ✅ Forced proximity ✅ Workplace romance ✅ Small-town motorcycle club romance ✅ Slow burn ✅ Wounded hero ✅ Found family garage crew ✅ Only one room during a storm ✅ Open-door spice ✅ Happily ever after

A six-week radio partnership shoves Bex into Cage’s garage, where their war starts with coffee on the workbench, lemon bars, and a rules list so controlling she reads it on air. Then a roadside assignment turns into a desert monsoon, one motel room, and a night that blows the doors off every boundary between them.

But when Bex’s contract is extended, the clock stops being simple. She would stay if he asked. He wants her more than he knows how to admit. And both of them are too bruised to say the one thing that matters before fear sends her five hours away and leaves them standing on opposite sides of the same silence.

Sharp banter. Closet-studio chaos. A garage full of loud opinions and accidental matchmaking. A hero who has to stop hiding behind control and ask for what he wants. A heroine who refuses to shrink herself to be easier to keep. Perfect for fans of grumpy/sunshine romance, forced proximity, blue-collar heroes, and small-town motorcycle club love stories with heat and heart.

Perfect for fans of grumpy/sunshine romance, forced proximity, blue-collar heroes, and small-town motorcycle club love stories with open-door heat and emotional payoff.
