When the Stars Come Out | Laura Trentham

When the Stars Come Out is a small-town romance set in the Southern town of Cottonbloom. Willa Brown never planned to stay put, but when she ends up working at the Abbot brothers’ garage, she begins to find the comfort and safety she’s been searching for. Jackson Abbott, one of the brothers, is a man more comfortable with cars than people, but he can’t deny the pull he feels toward Willa — especially as her skill and confidence on the job impress him. What starts as a simple crush slowly grows into something deeper, even as Willa harbors secrets from her past that make opening her heart difficult. As their attraction deepens, both must learn to trust, confront what’s been holding them back, and decide if they’re ready to give love — and each other — a real chance at lasting happiness.
