Summary
Grace Ivers is one bad day away from completely falling apart when her car starts making a horrible grinding sound just outside of campus. The only garage still open belongs to a family-owned shop that happens to include John Logan, a hockey star who’d rather spend his nights under the hood of a car than being treated like campus royalty.
What starts as a simple repair turns into late-night diner runs, coffee deliveries to the garage, and a growing attachment neither of them expects. Logan likes that Grace talks too much when she’s nervous. Grace likes that Logan becomes softer when nobody’s watching.
But as pressure mounts with Logan's hockey career and real life starts pulling at them from opposite directions, Grace begins to wonder if she’s just a temporary stop in Logan’s fast-moving future.
And Logan realizes far too late that somewhere between oil stains and midnight drives, Grace became the closest thing he’s ever had to home.
