β¦ Synopsis
Construction boss Hunter Vashon owes a huge debt to his grandmother Daisy for keeping his teenage secrets. When she asks for his help playing "Henry Higgins" to match-make his older brother, he can't possibly say no. Machinist Kalie Gray has never been one for dresses and frills. She spends her days crafting state-of-the-art robotic parts and her weekends at dusty, off-road race-tracks. So she's confused when handsome, sexy Hunter Vashon shows an interest in her. Kalie might be his brother's perfect match, but Hunter can't seem to stop himself from falling for her. She's smart, funny and down to earth. And after her makeover, she's drop dead gorgeous. He wants her for himself and tries desperately to reason with his grandmother. But Daisy stands her ground, and Hunter is torn between family loyalty and the woman he loves.
