"The townspeople of Maple Falls never dreamed the stylish real estate agent would have anything in common with everyone's favorite mechanic. But when these two get together, the spark plugs aren't the only thing creating a charge"-- Cruising around town in her red Mercedes, workaholic realtor Harper Wilson presents the picture of success in Maple Falls. But her carefully cultivated image is resting on a sudden drought in sales, and she is starting to see her professional dreams slip away. Car trouble brings her to mechanic Rusty Jenkins, and he allows her to give him a makeover for a charity bachelor auction. Harper discovers that beneath the town mechanic's grease-stained clothing lies a true Southern gentleman. As they get closer, past fears and relationships remind them of just how much is at stake when carefully constructed facades fall apart. - adapted from back cover Provided by publisher.
