Liv Phelps is on a mission. Get a degree, stay independent, save her family, and start a new life far from the small town where she was raised. Men, love, and emotion have no place in her plans. However, the universe has a different idea of what Liv needs, and when dashing Blaine Harris enters the diner where she's working, she decides that maybe she should give him a chance.

Blaine is a world away from anyone she's ever known and introduces her to things she's long dreamed about. But when he forces her to get her beat-down car seen by the local mechanic, a wrench is thrown into the works.

Connor Hunt, the resident of her same small town, has been at the very top of Liv's "do not disturb" list ever since she had a front-row seat to watching him create his terrible reputation. A magician with cars, he agrees to fix Liv's in exchange for her willingness to clean his mechanic shop once a week. Although hesitant, a deal is struck. Liv never could have imagined how one simple "yes" would throw her life into the type of tailspin that she'd always planned to avoid.
