Unraveling Him — Claire Kingsley

She's the sunshine to his storm cloud

Stoic, growly Evan Bailey has enough on his plate. A growing business, a pack of brothers who drive him crazy, a gossip-loving small town, and a rivalry that runs deeper than any family feud. Love? That's a hard pass. He already learned the hard way that he's better off alone.

Fiona Gallagher has a problem. Or more like ten, but who's counting? The trouble with her car is just the cherry on top of the crap sundae, but she won't let that get her down.

Besides, she has a plan. Evan Bailey -- that brooding custom car builder who happens to hate her father -- is going to help her. He just doesn't know it yet.

The last thing Evan needs is the overly cheery Fiona crashing into his solitary life. But her offer is too compelling to ignore.

Fiona isn't there to pick through the wreckage of Evan's heart. If he has one, he won't let her anywhere near it. But the tension between them is hot enough to combust. And when she starts to see the cracks in his stony façade, she realizes she's getting more than she bargained for -- a lot more -- in that big surly man.

Author's Note: A grouchy, broody loner meets an adorable badass (who talks to her houseplants). It's the grumpy one is soft for the sunshine one with some engine-revving twists. Have a fan ready -- you're in for a Kindle-melting ride.

The Bailey Brothers series is meant to be read in order. Start with book one, Protecting You!
