Restoring the Trauma Surgeon
(2025)(The sixth book in the Third Coast Medical Romance series)
A novel by Daphne Dyer
She’s running from a life she never wanted. He’s stuck in a life that’s not his own. Neither of them is looking for love—but love might be looking for them.
Trauma surgeon Fallon Harbor didn’t plan to get her car stuck on a Texas beach or have her smart mouth earn her a job at the local garage. But desperate times… with a new name and a very real need to stay off the grid, her only goal is hiding from her manipulative should-be-ex-husband. The infuriatingly attractive mechanic who’s way too invested in her bald tires and personal safety?
Not part of the plan.
Harry Buchanan has one rule: no damsels in distress. Between a toxic father, family debts, and a garage barely staying afloat, he doesn’t have time for the enigmatic woman with a knack for engines and enough sass to rival his own. Fallon doesn't just crash into his world, she challenges him. She sees him. And for once, he wants more than just to survive—he wants to live.
When Harry suggests they take on restoration work at the shop, it feels like a turning point—like maybe she’s ready to stay. But when a stranger shows up claiming to be Fallon’s husband, Harry realizes nothing about her is what it seemed. She never even told him her real name. And now, the woman he was falling for is at the center of a lie he never saw coming.
With trust broken and emotions raw, Fallon and Harry have to decide if what they’ve built—between oil changes, shared silences, and unexpected laughter—is strong enough to survive the truth.
A grumpy mechanic. A runaway doctor. One tiny town full of nosy charm and second chances. Perfect for fans of slow-burn chemistry, found family, emotional healing, and falling in love where you least expect it.
If you love Nicholas Sparks level angst and Sarah Adams level humor, Harry and Fallon's happily ever after will keep you up past your bedtime.
Genre: Romance
