Romero and Juliette by Kat Baxter

Cruz
I swore I was done with surprises.
Then I found a stowaway in my van—a too-young, too-tempting mechanic who’s supposed to be fixing engines, not wrecking my focus. Juliette Winslow is everything good and sweet wrapped in grease-stained overalls, and she’s got no idea the guy she’s been flirting with on a dating app is me.
Now we’re stuck together on a road trip, sharing bad coffee, cramped motel rooms, and way too much tension. I’m old enough to know better. But when she smiles at me like that? Better goes straight out the window.

Juliette
Maybe sneaking into Cruz Romero’s van wasn’t my best idea.
But if I waited around for permission, I’d never live a little—or find love. I thought my crush was a blip, but the stoic ex-Ranger with a decade and change on me—makes me forget every reason he should be off-limits. He’s the kind of man who fixes what’s broken. The kind of man I could fall for—hard.
But Cruz has secrets, and one of them might just break my heart. Because somewhere between pit stops and puppy rescues, I’m realizing the man behind the screen might be sitting right next to me.
