She wrote the review that broke him. He just doesn’t know it yet.

Concha Diaz has two lives. By day she’s a motorcycle mechanic in the sun-baked California town she loves. By night, she’s Dolores Day — one of the most respected book critics in the country. She’s kept these worlds carefully separate.

Until the famous author whose career her harshest review derailed shows up in her town, moves into her beloved bookstore, and refuses — infuriatingly — to be the arrogant city interloper she expected.

Jonathan Waverly came to Cataluma to hide, to write, and to leave. He did not come to fall for the prickly, gorgeous, wrench-wielding woman next door. And yet here he is — renovating a bookstore he never wanted, fishing a desert river at sunset, and wondering if leaving was ever really the plan.

Enemies to lovers. Secret identity. A city mouse who discovers he’s been a small-town man all along — and a country mouse hiding in plain sight, who might finally be ready to want more than she’s allowed herself.

Some books change your life. And some people do.
