A Navy SEAL. A mechanic with charm. And his best friend’s sister who’s always been off-limits… until now.

Jack Raider lives by two rules: protect the people he loves—and never, ever fall for his buddy’s little sister. But when Eloise Hayes returns to Fraiser Mountain, all grown up and just as stubborn as ever, Jack’s rules go straight out the garage window. One look, and he knows—she’s not the girl he used to tease. She’s the woman he can’t stop thinking about.

Eloise doesn’t scare easy. As a small-town vet, she can wrestle a runaway goat and stitch up a raccoon before her first cup of coffee. But resisting Jack? That’s the real challenge. Especially when he’s shirtless, fixing engines, and flashing that cocky grin.

Between sizzling chemistry, nosy grandmas, a goat named Pancake, and a high-stakes case threatening their quiet mountain town, Jack and Eloise have their hands—and hearts—full.

Good thing Jack never walks away from a fight.

Especially when love’s on the line.
