LAWSON I love my job and my crew. The owners of J&J Construction put a lot of trust in me, and I strive to give my job everything I have. I pride myself on my calm façade on the job and off, even if I am a man of few words. That flies out the window when Madison comes onto my job site to complain about the noise. I can almost see the steam coming out of her ears, but she’s not the client and I have a job to do. She gets under my skin and with one look I know why. I might not be able to do anything about how loud it can get, but I can find a way to make it up to her if she’ll let me. Madison and her sassy attitude are mine and I’m not letting her go. I know she watches me, and it only fuels the fire within me to claim her. I’ll soothe her annoyance and make her forget about anything other than building a future with me. MADISON The racket from next door is going to drive me up the wall. I’ve confronted the foreman, Lawson, about the issue and it didn’t go very well. I can’t concentrate on my work and it’s not just the noise that’s the problem. My thoughts are invaded by a certain foreman with a dad bod so cuddlable that it makes me want to beg him to let me snuggle with him. It’s too bad I made a horrible first impression and now can only watch from my window even when I tell myself I won’t do it anymore. When he catches me checking him out, is he going to make fun of me and continue to hold my bad attitude against me? It wasn’t my finest hour; I’ll be the first one to admit it. When he asks me out, I wonder if he’s trying to teach me a lesson or if he’s for real. I could see a future with him, wrapped up in his beefy arms. Can he see a future with me or am I just a harpy with no manners? *18+ If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet and spicy but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you. No cheating with a guaranteed HEA. It is a standalone but is related to my Denver Family series (Banks Ink., Suburban Outcasts and Higgins Security). Meet Lawson in Less Than Strangers (Stranger Shoot Book 6) and Built Dad Bod Tough.* The Dad Bods are back, and they're Bigger, Bolder, and Burlier than ever! This April, join your favourite authors and the men packing a little somethin' extra for their women in Dad Bod 2.0: Large And In Charge.
