Books like Start me up by Victoria Dahl
When Lori inherits her late father’s auto body shop in the modest Colorado town of Tumble Creek, she’s determined to leave small‑town life behind. Her plans take an adventurous turn when her best friend Molly suggests a way to lift her spirits—but not romance. Enter Quinn Jennings, a meticulous architect whose business trip brings him to the shop. What starts as a professional relationship quickly heats up with hot, no‑strings‑attached encounters that feel like a fun escape for both of them. As the town’s quiet pace shifts toward danger, Quinn’s protective side emerges, and the unexpected affection that grows between them challenges the boundaries they initially set. In the end, love finds its way into the mechanics of their lives.
