The Perfect Stroke was "one-night turned into more" with a bit of extra family drama and romantic triangle thrown in.
CC (Claudia Cooper) was a mechanic and shop owner in a small town in Kentucky brought up by an ex MC member named Banger after her mother left town. Banger died of cancer and left CC the garage with one other mechanic Jackson. CC had a one-night-stand with a hunk at a hotel hours away and it was a very good night. But karma brought him into town when his car broke down on her doorstep. But he is Greyson Lucas, golf's bad boy, and he's there to woo the Rivertons, because he needed a sponsor to rejoin the golf tournament. But dealing with Rivertons means dealing with Tami, who apparently wants a piece of his... uh... nine-iron between his legs, so much so she's ready to announce to the world she's his fiancee. Except Grey wants CC, and CC has a history with the Rivertons... esp. Tami. When the Rivertons started to lean on Tami, the entire Lucas clan joined the fray...
I rather enjoy the tease and dialog between the two, for CC finally grew a spine (until Riverton started playing hardball) and Grey was kinda clueless that his family had been handling the situation behind his back. The ending, however, was pure deus ex machina (i.e. lit a hail mary save that came out of nowhere) that it was kinda wait... what? OTOH, having a skunk as a part of the darkest hour was somewhat ingenious. No, you'll need to read it for the details.
