Opposite Attracts

By Dominique Russell

Some love stories begin with grand gestures.
Theirs began at Pump Four.
Amari Brooks has spent his life building an honest reputation as the owner of Brooks Automotive in Seat Pleasant, Maryland. At thirty, he's proud of the business his late father left behind, the loyal customers who trust him, and the close-knit family that has always kept him grounded. Love has never been his priority-until a chance encounter with a stranded stranger changes everything.
Dr. Nia Carter has always lived up to expectations. At twenty-eight, she's achieved the dream she's worked toward her entire life, accepting a position at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Raised in a successful family in Upper Marlboro, she's spent years chasing excellence, only to realize that a prestigious career doesn't guarantee happiness.
When car trouble brings Nia into Amari's world, an unexpected friendship begins to grow. What starts as a simple act of kindness slowly becomes something deeper, forcing them to confront the differences in their backgrounds, careers, and the expectations others have placed on them.
While Amari's warm, welcoming family embraces Nia without hesitation, her own family struggles to see past the title "mechanic." As judgment, social expectations, and two very different worlds collide, Amari and Nia must decide whether love is strong enough to overcome the barriers that separate them.
Set against the familiar neighborhoods of Prince George's County, Opposites Attract is a heartfelt contemporary romance about family, ambition, faith in one another, and discovering that a person's character will always matter more than their job title or where they come from.
Perfect for readers who enjoy slow-burn romance, emotionally rich relationships, realistic characters, and stories that prove the greatest love stories often begin in the most ordinary places.
