Everyone else sees junk. Cord sees treasure.

Mackenzie ‘Mac’ Rourke has spent her life rescuing what everyone else throws away. Rusted engines. Bent fenders. Broken machinery. If there's still life left in it, she'll find it. People have never shown her the same kindness.

Growing up on the wrong side of town, she learned early that folks looked at her the way they looked at the wrecks piled in her salvage yard—as something to avoid, something to judge, something not worth keeping.

Then Cord Sutter walks through her gate looking for an old windmill part. Instead of seeing a junkyard, he sees ingenuity. Instead of seeing a rough, grease-smudged mechanic, he sees a stunning woman with fiery red hair, emerald-green eyes, and a quiet strength that leaves him wanting to know everything about her.

Mac doesn't believe a word of it. Surely a handsome cowboy like Cord couldn't possibly mean what he says. But Cord isn't teasing her. He's simply waiting for the day Mac can see herself through his eyes.

As friendship turns into something deeper, Mac must decide whether to keep hiding behind the walls she's built—or risk believing she's been worth keeping all along.

A spicy wrong-side-of-the-tracks cowboy romance where healing a wounded heart may be the hardest thing to salvage.
