She’s a page-turner, he’s a wrench-turner—faking it never felt so real.
Havana Heights is usually quiet—unless you count the clatter from Roarke Sullivan’s auto shop or the rustle of pages in Willow Bennett’s beloved book nook. When a priceless first-edition novel disappears and the prime suspect is Roarke’s estranged uncle, the town’s unlikeliest duo teams up to clear his name.
The catch? Gossip travels faster than a turbo-charged engine, so Willow and Roarke agree to fake date to snoop without raising eyebrows. Cue the ‘accidental’ hand-holding, stolen glances over spark plugs and cappuccinos, and one nosy librarian determined to see romance blossom.
As clues pile up—along with sparks—Willow discovers Roarke’s clever side goes far beyond carburetors, while Roarke realizes the shy bookworm can throw down witty one-liners with the best of them. But when the trail leads to a secret recipe, a hidden safe, and a second shocking theft, their pretend relationship might be the only real thing they can trust.
Can a grease-stained mechanic and a daydreaming bibliophile turn their staged swoon into happily-ever-after before the culprit strikes again? Get ready for cozy whodunits, laugh-out-loud hijinks, and enough fake-dating chemistry to overheat any engine!
