He wants a perfect restoration. She’s about to wreck his carefully controlled world.

When 32-year-old brooding pharmaceutical tycoon Krish Mehra hires 24-year-old vintage car restorer Maxine Sheridan to bring his late father’s prized 1947 MG TC back to life, he’s expecting meticulous craftsmanship, not motor oil, mischief, and mayhem.

A prodigy in her field, Max is a whirlwind; brilliant, bold, and unapologetically alive. Her days are spent elbows-deep in engines and her nights dreaming in chrome. She has no time for uptight suits or emotional baggage. But Krish is both and something about his quiet grief and relentless control calls to her reckless heart.

Haunted by the car crash that stole his parents and thrust him into the role of guardian to his three younger siblings, Krish lives by one rule: never lose control. Max lives to break all rules, including his. As sparks fly and secrets surface, an unexpected accident threatens to destroy the fragile bond between them. Will love be the one thing they can’t rebuild? Will they finally leave the past behind and shift into drive—or are they destined to stay stuck in reverse?
