Come Hell or High Tide
A Spicy Small Town Romance · Harper Vale
A travel writer’s van dies in a wreck-stained Oregon town. The only man who can rebuild it wants tourists—and her—gone. Then the storm closes the pass, there’s one bed over the shop, and staying the season starts to sound like a vow.
Tessa Quinn has spent six years living in a van that is also her kitchen, her office, and her rent. When the engine dies on a jetty road in Wrecker's Bay, Oregon, the only mechanic-contractor for miles is Jude Harlan: thirty-eight, allergic to tourists, and running a shop that still has his drowned brother’s ghost in the tape on the boxes.
He doesn’t take out-of-town work. She isn’t a tourist—she’s stranded. The motel is full. The pass closes. The loft over the shop has one bed, a trunk she is not allowed to touch, and a storm that does not care about municipal codes.
What starts as a liability statement becomes grease on a wrist, chowder scored an eight, a quilt that fails as a boundary, and a man who kisses her in an alley and tells her she’s leaving. Tessa doesn’t need rescuing. She needs an engine, a season, and for Jude to ask—out loud—without a gale doing half the work.
Spicy small-town romance. Grumpy/sunshine. Forced proximity. One bed. Found family at the Split Hull. HEA. Book 1 in the Wrecker's Bay series.
