The Fixer He Found

Corrigan's Ferry runs on one woman's hands. Marisol Aduba has kept the town turbine alive for four winters, and she has no plan to add anyone to the payroll. Ozzy Pell arrives with a broken radio, one working eye, and a map he shouldn't have. It shows a western substation that could turn the lights back on for a whole county. He needs a mechanic. She needs a reason to stop fixing other people's machines and start fixing her own life. They make the trip in six weeks: one dog, two rifles, and a working knee between them. What waits at the substation is not an empty building. It is a fight over who gets to decide what the future is. By the end, Ozzy will be flying, Marisol will be burning, and both of them will understand that the only thing worth repairing is the thing you plan to keep. A plainspoken post-apocalyptic survival romance for readers who think a good tool is a love language.
