A 2015 Colorado Romance Writers Award of Excellence finalist in the New Adult category
He’s the last thing she wants…but the only thing she needs.
Willa Peet isn’t interested in love. She’s been there, done that, and has the shattered heart to prove it. Ready to shake the breakup, she heads to Dublin, Ireland. But there’s a problem. A dark-haired, blue-eyed problem with a bad attitude that rivals her own. And he’s not doling out friendly Irish welcomes.
Shane Claymore just wants to race. The death of his father forced him off the Formula One circuit, but he’s only staying in Dublin long enough to sell the Claymore Inn and get things in order for his mother and younger sister. He never expected the sarcastic American girl staying at the inn to make him question everything.
But even as Willa and Shane’s fiery natures draw them together, their pasts threaten to rip them apart. Can Shane give up racing to be with the woman he loves, or will Willa’s quest to resurrect the tough-talking, no-shit-taking girl she used to be destroy any hope of a future together?

"Unfixable was a fun, sexy, and light-hearted romance that kept a smile on my face from start to finish!!" - Aestas Book Blog
"Unfixable is a steamy, adorable love story about two people who could not have been further from looking for true love...Flirty, steamy, heartfelt and set in the heart of Ireland, I could not have been more willing to lose myself in the romance of this book." --Lisa, Goodreads
"If you enjoy steamy NA with fantastic characters and a wonderful story (and scorching hot sex scenes), this book is a must read.

"He's the last thing she wants, but the only thing she needs."
It appears that Tessa Bailey can do no wrong in my eyes and with this lovely spin off from her 'Protecting series' hitting the right spot in the New Adult genre she just raised her game all over again. 'Unfixable' is ...more
5 I'd let Shane rev my engine Stars
I feel like a battle is being waged inside me, between my attraction to Shane and the scarier, unwanted feelings creeping in. It's no mystery that I will lose the physical battle, but I'm trying to win the overall war."
4.5 stars!
I have been on a Tessa Bailey audiobook kick the last few weeks. This is my third book of hers and by far my favorite. If you’ve read Protecting What’s His you remember Ginger’s younger sister Willa. Willa doesn’t let people get close. She is a little brash, a little standoffish, but s ...more
My casting for Shane ^^
Unfixable was a fun, sexy, and light-hearted romance that kept a smile on my face from start to finish!!
Honestly, it felt exactly like “reading” a romantic comedy movie — it had great banter, a hot hero, a snarky heroine, a little bit of drama thrown in and a happy ending. ...more
