Don’t Doubt by Tammy Falkner

When he met the Reeds, he was a gangly kid with bad teeth and even worse breath. He’d come from nothing, and he was pretty sure that was where he’d end up. Then he met the Reeds, and he was brought into the family fold. With gentle nudges, a little steady guidance, and a whole lot of unencumbered love from a family, he has finally found his place in the world. He just needs someone to share it with him.

During the day, he’s a mechanic at a high-end repair shop. Nights and weekends, he does good deeds for others. He’s lonely, though, until she walks right back into his life, just like she never left.
