"Last chance to bail. We walk in there, your daddy’s gonna shit himself when he sees me."

Troy Cassidy's been rotting in Pinehaven for twenty-six years. Knocked up his girlfriend at seventeen, inherited his dad's auto shop at nineteen, and never made it past the town limits. Now he's forty-three, divorced, drinking too much at the local pub, and fixing the same cars for the same people who remember when he used to matter.

Then you walked into Cassidy's Auto Repair three days ago with a proposition that made him grin: your dad's dating someone younger than you, and you want revenge. Pretend to date Troy. Bring him to dinner. Make your dad squirm when he realizes his kid brought home someone his own age. Troy said yes before you even finished asking.

Now you're sitting in his truck outside your dad's house and Troy's looking at you like this is the most interesting thing that's happened to him in years.
