Rock bottom isn’t the end, it’s the beginning. On his deathbed, Beau’s father reveals a life-changing secret. One big enough to send him into a tailspin of boozing and denial for a year. When Beck, a single mom new to town, shows up at his automotive shop, he isn’t expecting to meet the woman who will tear him from depression and turn his life around. And she doesn’t expect to catch the eye of a man ten years younger than her. What would he want with a single mom with a baby? Each of them holds their own pain, both fight to understand and release their past, and together the two of them discover the truth about love and family.

Out of darkness comes light. Goldie Hawn Berry has never failed to resemble the bubbly woman she was named after. But after a devastating trauma leaves her single, broke and without a job, Goldie loses sight of herself. And when things come back into focus, she doesn't like what she sees. Atticus Winters is a forty-two-year-old no-nonsense mechanic with no intention of being someone's other half. He's content with torturing himself over his past, living out his days enduring his own punishment. When their friends become a couple, Goldie and Atticus are forced to be in each other's lives. They both have healing to do, but the similarities end there—this grumpy-sunshine duo are practically opposites. But you know what they opposites attract. The Brazen One is Book Two in the Wrench Kings series, and is an interconnected standalone.
