One Mistake with the Mechanic by Ellen Brooks

A hardworking mechanic she shot down before.
A generous diner owner sure he was asking for the wrong reasons.
Will the magic of Christmas—and a holiday blizzard—deliver a second chance at love?

When the irresistible mechanic I’d lusted over for years actually asked me out, it was out of pity. I knew better than to believe he’d actually go for a curvy girl like me.
Ever since I turned him down, I’ve steered clear of the long, lean hottie. Which is hard when you both run small businesses in a town as teeny tiny as Ravish Ridge.
But it’s worked out okay. Until now.
When, thanks to a charitable project and a holiday blizzard, we’re snowed in together and he seems hell bent on discovering why I said no. Not that in a million years I can tell him the truth.

All I want for Christmas is a chance to convince the woman who turned me down years ago to say yes. Or at least give me the real reason she said no.
And thanks to a merry miracle, my only wish comes true when a blizzard blows in just as the curvy diner owner I’ve never stopped pining for swings by my shop to check on the non-profit project we’re both helping with.
I’ve got one night to persuade this woman I’m the man for her, even though she’s still way out of my league.
