He was supposed to be Connor's boss. Not the man he imagined kissing long after the workday ended.

Connor Ellis knows how to work with his hands. He knows good timber, bad repairs, and exactly how much trouble a man like Miguel Reyes could cause him. Tall, powerful, and infuriatingly controlled, Miguel makes it difficult to concentrate on anything except his rolled-up sleeves and the way his dark eyes linger.

Connor needs this job. He does not need to find out what his boss sounds like when he finally loses control.

Miguel has built his life around being the man with the answers. Then a blond carpenter with blue eyes and a smart mouth joins his crew, challenges his decisions, and gets under his skin. Connor looks at him like he sees the man beneath the company name, and Miguel wants more of it than he knows how to ask for.

The attraction is immediate. Giving in takes longer.

Arguments turn into teasing. Late-night conversations become reasons to stay. Every almost-touch leaves them wanting, until keeping their distance feels harder than admitting what they want.

But Connor wants more than Miguel's hands on him. He wants a place in his life without surrendering his own. And Miguel must learn that loving someone isn't the same as knowing what's best for him.

Just as they begin to trust each other, the mill they're restoring gives up a secret tied to the accident that devastated Miguel's family. The evidence carries a name Connor recognizes.

His father's.

Connor can tell Miguel the truth and risk losing him. Or keep the man he's falling for by becoming someone he could never trust.
