My life’s all busted engines and keeping my heart in neutral. Then a gorgeous stranger named Andrés rolls into town with a broken-down BMW and eyes that read me too easy, and suddenly everything’s falling apart. It was supposed to be one night. Just a tow job. But things heat up fast and get a little slick around the edges, leaving me face to face with something I’ve spent years avoiding.I’ve always been good at helping people leave. Never figured I’d want one to stay.Grease & Grips is a 17k-word, low-angst, one-night-stand-to-HFN novella where motor oil gets used in ways the manufacturer definitely didn’t intend. It is the second novella in a series of queer love stories full of big feelings and extremely unconventional lube choices. Because who says silicone and water-based are the only options?
