An MC Romance

Chapter One: Natalie

Hard metal soothed Natalie’s calloused palms as she leaned against the hood of the light blue car in front of her. 1967 Chevrolet Camaro. Beautiful paint and interior. Probably rebuilt or kept in a garage most of her life. Bet this car’s been all over in her day, and now it’s here in Classic Auto in Thousand Oaks in front of me. I love my job.

“Someone really cares about you, huh?” Natalie said to the car. “Let’s see what you’ve got.”

Natalie couldn’t help but whistle as she raised the hood and bathed what lay beneath with bright daylight from Classic Auto’s six open garage doors. This car screamed “Originality!”. Natalie wasn’t against modifying classic cars, but there was something special about opening a door or a hood and seeing exactly what someone would have seen fifty-three years ago.

This Camaro was like a time capsule. Not modified, not obviously restored, just taken care of over the years.

The engine caught Natalie’s eye, and she leaned closer with a frown. Wait a minute...this wasn’t the original engine. “Hey, Matt,” she called, without looking in her fellow mechanic’s direction.

“Hey, Natalie,” he tossed back at her, not stopping in his efforts with a socket wrench.

“Wasn’t there a General Motors recall of defective motor mounts in 1971?”

“Yeah.”

“That explains it then, doesn’t it?” Natalie gave the car a fond little pat.

“Yeah it does, you’re so smart!”

“Shut up,” Natalie told Matt with an eye-roll, wandering over to the computer station in the middle of the shop to find the Camaro’s file. It looked good at first glance, but something must be wrong with it or the car wouldn’t be here.

“If you insist on talking to the cars you shouldn’t be so surprised when they talk back,” Matt said innocently.

“I like that cars don’t talk back. I get enough of that from men.” Natalie snapped her gaze to Matt to give him a wide, sassy grin, then returned to her task. “Who brought this car in?” she asked, raising an eyebrow at the notes section of the dropoff.

Julian spoke up from the other side of the shop. “Some rich kid. He said his grandfather left him the car and that the engine squeals when he starts it up.”

Natalie winced. This beautiful classic car in the hands of a kid?

“Relax, girl,” Julian told her. “You’re a kid yourself.”

Natalie brushed back her short, dark-brown hair so Julian could feel the full force of her glare. “Just because I’m not balding or graying—”

“—doesn’t mean that you don’t know what you’re doing, I know,” Julian interrupted. “But cars are your thing. They aren’t everyone’s thing.”

“Yeah, yeah.” Julian was right, as usual—she needed to give this kid she had never met a break.

Natalie couldn’t remember a time in her life that she hadn’t loved cars. Growing up in a house with an absentee father, a single mother who worked long hours as a doctor and a brother who couldn’t put down his video-game controller, Natalie’s obsession with cars broke the family mold.
