Rose by Crystal Perkins

You only get one first impression, and sometimes you can’t live it down…

Rose Murphy slapped Ares Dixon the first time she met him. Now, she’s sleeping with him, but still can’t trust that he really wants more than sex. She’s too different from the women he’s photographed with almost every night.
Ares has only wanted one woman since he met Rose, but he’s done some things he shouldn’t have, in order to protect a reputation he doesn’t even want. He’s tired of the way things are with Rose, but he doesn’t know how to make her believe he’s a changed man.

When she figures out that Ares cars are being tampered with, Rose will do whatever she can to keep him safe, even putting herself, and her biggest secret, at risk. Her mind is a beautiful thing, but it has a darker side she’s hidden from almost everyone, until allowing it to take over may be the only thing saving her. She’ll have to fight for herself…and for the man who truly loves every part of her.
It’s a race to the finish, but will the mechanic and the driver allow love to win?
