First published 2024
Lane celebrates her birthday by making a wildly impulsive decision. She buys a massive yellow school bus with plans to convert it into her home. Her friends have all coupled up while her career stagnates, leaving her deeply unhappy and searching for change. With inheritance money but zero renovation skills, she turns to Matt, a mechanic friend who knows his way around tools. Matt is a family-oriented guy who dreams of settling down. Lane runs from commitment at every turn. Despite their obvious attraction, they've kept things strictly platonic. When Matt offers to help with both the bus renovation and a no-strings bedroom arrangement, Lane agrees. She thinks she can handle casual intimacy without catching feelings. She's wrong. As they work side by side transforming the bus, Lane's emotions shift faster than she anticipated. But moving forward means confronting the grief that has frozen her life in place.
