Rust and Roses - Love Stories and Relationship Journeys | Tales of Connection

 

Romantic short stories - William Tanner never planned on coming back to Brookhaven. He had a good job, a sleek apartment, and a life far removed from the rust and grit of his grandparents’ junkyard. But when a late-night call from his dad reveals the family business is on the brink of collapse, William packs his bags and heads home—armed with a business degree and a stubborn streak. What he doesn’t expect? Amanda Perkins. His childhood best friend, his secret crush, and now the passionate social worker with a dream to help struggling families. Amanda needs a space for her program. William needs to save the junkyard. Neither expects sparks to fly amid piles of scrap metal and second-hand appliances.
