Labor of Loving You

“Love wasn’t in her job description—until he showed up with a tool belt and a smile.”

Zelda “Zee” Combs knows how to keep the chaos of Adkins’s Construction in order—with perfectly color-coded spreadsheets and a glare that could knock a hard hat off.

But dating a man in the industry? Hard pass.

She's seen too many egos behind tool belts and too much sweat tracked across her clean office floors.

Enter Bo Adkins—the boss’s little brother, back in Gloster with a fresh contractor’s license, a crooked smile, and a plan to rebuild both his life and the town’s crumbling charm.

He’s everything Zee swore off: rough hands, flirty eyes, and a fondness for being there….which makes her even more uneasy.

When a Labor Day project forces them to work side by side, sparks fly—and not the kind that come from a power drill.

As Bo hammers at her walls, Zee must decide if she's ready to trade her clipboard for a leap of faith… or risk missing out on the kind of love that’s worth the work.
