D. C. Robeline

A Champion for Tinker Creek D. C. Robeline

Master mechanic Lyle James built a successful but lonely life in Tinker Creek after rescuing his dad's auto repair shop until an international development firm conspires with local officials to condemn the shop and steal his land.




Jose "Manny" Porter has come home to take a reporting job at the South Georgia Record, a regional newspaper where his father is publisher and editor-in-chief. As the son of a driven Anglo father and Cuban exile mother, Manny knows all about how competing parental expectations can chill efforts to even find sex--much less love.




After a night of passion, Lyle and Manny are thrown together in a fight to save Lyle's business. Their struggles may lead to more than either expected for their community and their lives.
