They can't put the brakes on their desires!

Jessica Jae-un Miller arrives in Peach Blossom for a getaway, but when her hire car breaks down, local mechanic Lavenia 'Vini' Williams provides a tow – and a very welcome jump start to Jessica’s heart.

Vini knows herself and what she wants. She loves her job, her family, her hometown – she’d love to fall in love. Jessica stirs up all the right feelings, but the city girl has no intention of staying in Peach Blossom. Why sign up for a broken heart?

But the temptation is real as Vini goes out of her way to drive a carless Jessica around town. The pair can’t seem to keep their distance – or their hands to themselves.

There’s more than one way to love and more than one place to call home in this rousing small-town romantic comedy that’s sure to charm fans of Hannah Bonam-Young’s Next to You and Ashley Herring Blake’s Iris Kelly Doesn’t Date.
