The Mechanics of Love — Emery C. Walters

When he turned sixteen, Nick inherited his grandfather's unidentified junk car left behind the family garage. It could end his unhappy gay life if he learns how to fix it, so over the years, self-pity and enough of his father's gin lead Nick to a plan.

With the help of a gorgeous instructor named Harry, Nick becomes an apprentice automobile mechanic. When the car finally starts, a very drunk Nick puts his plan to work.

But the car has other ideas, and Nick has to call for a tow. His plan quickly changes the moment Harry steps out of the tow truck. Will the unidentified classic car lead Nick to love?
