I never dreamed I'd be a widow at twenty-six. When my husband dies, I'm left with a huge house I never wanted, a too-high mortgage I can't really afford, and bills that keep pouring in. I'm barely keeping my wits about me; I don't have time for romance. Especially not with the sweet-talking older guy that's part of the crew putting in a new septic system at my house so I can sell it and move on with my life.

Relationships have never been my thing. I'm all in for a good time, some laughs, and then I'm ready to move on. That's one of the reasons I enjoy my work as a septic technician. It might be dirty and physical work and while the routine is the same, the location always changes. Then I meet a feisty widow and suddenly I'm not in a hurry for a job to be finished so I can move on to the next. What's it going to take to convince her I'm not just interested in right now but looking at building a forever together.
