Tomlin. The Cañon Series, #1

From best-selling author GiGi Meier, a small town romance between a foul-mouth car restorer and a determined Judo Olympian who refuses to take no for an answer. Growing up in a male-dominated world and restoring classic cars, Dani Winters is hardened by life and its disappointments. Abandoned by her mom as a child and raised by her dad in an apartment above the repair shop, Dani is used to watching the success of others with every vintage car she restores.

When Tomlin breaks her best friend's heart and walks in months later, wanting to jump the line on her year-long restoration waitlist, it brings out the worst in her. Tomlin is Book One of a Duet.
