I came to Forge Creek to do a job, not fall for the man who runs the site.
Rena Black doesn’t cut corners. Hired as a safety consultant on a major construction project, she’s there to make sure everyone goes home alive at the end of the day. It's a temporary contract. She has to create a professional distance. Her number one rule is no attachments.
Caleb Wyatt built his life around hard work and responsibility. As the site supervisor, he keeps his crew safe, the project moving, and his emotions locked down tight. He doesn’t have time for distractions, especially not a sharp-eyed woman who challenges his authority and sees straight through him.
Working side by side, tension turns into heat. What starts as a strictly off-the-clock arrangement quickly becomes something neither of them planned for. But when the job gets dangerous and the pressure mounts, they’re forced to choose between playing it safe… or fighting for something real.
In Hearts Bend, love isn’t easy, but it’s built to last.
Welcome to Hearts Bend, Texas, where every road leads to love.
