Winter Wish by Jaelle Keyes

No one can f**k you over easier than those who are supposed to love you.

Garage owner Ezra Curtis was no stranger to scandal. Hell, years later, people still whispered about his parents. So, when his longtime girlfriend and office manager was caught having an affair with his lead mechanic, it sent the gossip mill into overdrive—and his business spiraling into jeopardy.
Mechanic Jorie Tate had had enough of her overprotective, overbearing, overwhelmingly over-the-top family. Covert strategizing was second nature to Jorie. She had a plan that didn’t involve being anyone’s pawn. All she needed was a little luck and a college career day in Las Vegas to set it into motion.
Desperate for a cash infusion, Ezra and his brother headed to Vegas to pitch Curtis Garage to the executives of a reality TV series interested in featuring them alongside two other builders. But accepting the offer came with its own challenges. First, they needed to find a mechanic willing to relocate to Wintervale, Montana. And second, even after finding someone, could Ezra trust another woman in his garage?

He feared hiring Jorie might be the worst decision of his life.
But he was wrong—and it might cost him everything.
