On a stormy night in Portland, Oregon, cynical ad exec Lily Bishop crashes into a stunning classic car driven by a dark, handsome stranger with strong hands. His powerful touch makes her remember old dreams she thought she abandoned twenty years ago. Back then, she traded her MFA in photography for a lucrative advertising position that twists people’s deepest desires into just another data point.

Though he’s struggling to take his hot rods to the big time, mechanic Raine Reyes won’t accept help from anyone -- certainly not an uptown woman like Lily whose miles-wide reckless streak brings out the repressed bad boy in him. He knows he should run from her offer to be the new face of her next expensive advertising campaign, but he’s too tempted… by her. He sees right through her to the forgotten needs, the neglected fantasies, and the woman she always wanted to be.

Raine isn't your typical bad boy- yes, he's had some troubles in the past & he is magnificent looking but he's not a player. He is focused on making something of himself. Lily has lost sight of her dreams and because of her past has made a safe life for herself. When she crashes into Raine, he opens her eyes to what she's been missing out. Lily isn't a young women, but rather a woman in her early 40's where Raine is in his early 20's making things that much more complicated for Lily anyway. Lily has some decisions to make because Raine isn't going to chase after her anymore. Some very, hot, juicy, steamy sex scenes. The ending was good enough but because of the age complication I would have liked a bit more of their future.
