Lessons & Leather

She's never been touched. He's never been trusted. But when a sunshine schoolteacher crashes into a broody mechanic-literally-the sparks don't stop flying.
Eliza Thorne has spent her whole life being good. Good daughter. Good sister. Good teacher. She keeps the peace, keeps things running, and keeps her deepest desires tucked safely out of sight. Wanting more has never felt like an option-until a fender bender introduces her to Clay Walker, the town's broodiest mechanic with a jaw that could cut glass and eyes that see far too much.
Clay doesn't do soft. Doesn't do complications. He keeps his head down, runs his garage, and avoids anything that might crack the armor he's spent years building. But Eliza Thorne-sunshine smile, cherry earrings, and quiet strength-doesn't just crack his walls. She dismantles them.
Their connection is electric. Impossible. Inevitable. But if they want more than just heat, they'll have to believe something neither of them has ever been told-that real love doesn't just hold space-it makes you feel like you belong in it.
Lessons & Leather is a steamy, small-town opposites-attract romance between a woman learning to want and a man learning he's wanted. Featuring emotional firsts, protective tension, and the kind of slow burn that scorches when it finally ignites.
