Gemini "Gemma" McKendrick knows just about everything about everybody in Townsend Harbor. When she's not serving on one of the many civic positions or leaping headlong into another hobby, she's hosting the Sunday Stitch 'N Bitch at her yarn and craft shop, Bazaar Girls. With her quirky boutique in big financial trouble, she makes a snap decision to rent out the basement of her cozy craftsman to Townsend Harbor newcomer Gabe Kelly. A man with a past as colorful as his tattoo sleeves, who has become an urban legend since he blew into town. And who better than Gemma, Townsend Harbor's own gossip guru, to answer the rumor mill's most pressing questions? Like whether the silver-tongued mechanic is as good with his hands as he is with a socket wrench.
Gabriel "Gabe" Kelly wasn't born into a family so much as a criminal enterprise. Taught to lift, chop, and rebuild cars since before he could tie his own shoes, he's obliged to pay his debt to society before deserting South Boston for Townsend Harbor, Washington. Surely he can stay out of trouble here, right? He immediately finds the only position an ex-con with prison muscles and neck tattoos could easily find in a town like this, and buys the vintage car mechanic shop from it's retiring owner . Moonlighting as the only tow truck in a thirty-mile radius, he rescues the absent-minded hottie who runs the local yarn shop. But he quickly discovers that a toy-sized car with a dashboard lit up by Christmas isn't the only thing in Gemma McKendrick's life desperately in need of maintenance. Gabe, who is uniquely qualified to diagnose and fix complicated mechanisms, finds his sexy landlord is impossible to figure out. Looks like he'll have to take a peek at her undercarriage to find out what makes her purr before he hits the road again.
Because women of her caliber don't take home guys with his make and model...
But he knows she wants a test drive.

Look Inside Ch. 1
Look Inside Ch. 1
Gemma McKendrick rushed around her cozy but cluttered craft boutique, fluffing pillows, swiping dust from the knickknacks, and jamming a mental knitting needle into the balloon of panic swelling against her ribs. Twice already, she'd had to swap out her sweater as damp rings darkened the pits. Hyperhidrosis—just another of ADHD's delightful bonus body betrayals.
In exactly twelve minutes, the biweekly Stitch ‘n Bitch club would commence, and she was running late.
Per usual.
The detailed list of necessary preparations she'd gone to the extra trouble of neatly typing out in a burst of rare and blessed motivation at the ass crack of dawn this morning sat languishing on her counter at home. Most likely marked with a coffee ring from one of the mugs that tended to gather in herds on every available horizontal surface of her kitchen. The mental checklist she'd hastily assembled in its stead bore only a marginal resemblance.
1. Hide-y up: shove everything in the store that resembled extraneous clutter in any available hiding place
2. Charcutercheat: put out the preassembled trays she'd bought because she'd run out of time after having watched two hours of TikTok tutorials and dirtied every champagne glass she owned attempting to make sheet of cured meats into perfect pork roses
3. Maid of Dishonor: quickly skim the magazines Cady left over a week ago and weigh in on the centerpieces she'd helpfully marked with an elaborate color-coded system of sticky notes
With the googly-eyed cat clock behind her fabric cutting counter conspicuously counting down the seconds, Gemma realized item three was a no-go. Better to risk her best friend's always gentle censure by asking for just one more day (again) than to half-ass her responsibilities.
