Elle Mitchell has a gift when it comes to fixing cars. As a talented auto mechanic, she’s taken her share of guff from her male counterparts. When she accepts a job in Harley Holt's new Sapphire Falls auto garage, she expects more of the same, but she’s determined to prove she can handle the tough world of high performance engine repair on her own, away from the overbearing eye of the brother who taught her everything. Ex-motorcycle racing champ Harley Holt has made the switch to stock car racing, and his new automotive garage is small but integral to his plans for raising interest in his favorite sport. He has no qualms about hiring a woman, his bottom line is ability. His only sexist mistake was assuming she wouldn’t be attractive! Although Elle makes a few wrong assumptions about her new boss when he plows through her first hours in Sapphire Falls at breakneck speed, she quickly learns what a stand-up guy he actually is. After that, it’s a smooth transition to full-blown romance. But it’s too easy. Shouldn’t there be obstacles? Shouldn’t there be fights and making up on the road to love? As they plan a huge new race event for the annual Sapphire Falls summer festival there’s none of those things—just a swift and passionate love affair. And then, Harley’s search for a sponsor bears fruit. Unfortunately, when new faces chosen by the benefactor start to change things in a race car that could endanger Harley’s life, Elle’s expertise pits her against everyone on the team. Unless she can find a way to convince Harley she’s fighting for him and not her own ego, the new confidence she’s worked so hard to find could prove to be the insurmountable obstacle to a happy future both she and Harley feared.
Author
Award-winning and No.1 Bestselling author Lizbeth Selvig writes heartwarming contemporary romance. Whether set in the Scottish Highlands, a huge ranch in Wyoming, a small town in Minnesota, or a Kentucky racetrack, her strong, fun and funny characters will never do the expected while finding their ways home to family and love. Lizbeth turned to fiction writing after working as a newspaper journalist and magazine editor, raising an equine veterinarian daughter (handy, since there are usually too many horses in her stories) and a talented musician son (also handy because she’s been known to write about rock stars). She shares life in Minnesota, where her first book series is set, with her best friend (aka her husband, Jan), her two pretty horses, Jedi and Largo, three human grandchildren, and her four-legged grandbabies of which there are nearly thirty (including two alpacas, a couple of small goats, a mammoth-eared donkey, two miniature horses, a pig, and many many dogs, cats and regular-sized horses). In her spare time, she loves to hike, quilt, read, and ride horses. An incorrigible extrovert, she also loves connecting with readers—so contact her any time.
