She was tired of love, done with men, and certain her heart had no more miles left—until a broken car led her to a man who could fix more than engines.

Seraphina Hale is successful, stylish, and smart—but behind the flawless smile is a woman who's had her heart shattered too many times. After a string of painful relationships, she's sworn off romance and settled into a life of safety and solitude. But when her car breaks down outside a small-town auto shop, she meets Matteo Russo—gritty, grounded, and nothing like the men she's known.

Matteo is no prince charming. He's not rich, not polished, and doesn't even own a suit. But he has strong hands, kind eyes, and a way of listening that Seraphina isn't used to. As they keep crossing paths—through car troubles, unexpected rainstorms, and conversations that dig deeper than either of them expects—walls start to crack, and hearts start to open.

But love never comes easy. Between lingering shadows from Seraphina's past, Matteo's complicated family history, and friends who question the match, resistance becomes part of their rhythm. What begins as annoyance slowly turns into something real, raw, and unforgettable.

Told with humor, heart, and hope, How I Fall in Love with My Mechanic is a slow-burn romance about second chances, unexpected connections, and learning that sometimes, the most beautiful love stories start with a dead battery and a stubborn heart.
