The Carpenter — Ramona Gray

He's good with a hammer and I'm about to get nailed.

Madison
He says it's wrong. He says we can't be together. But, I've been in love with carpenter, Jacob Marken, for years and I'm tired of waiting. I don't care about the age difference. I'm doing everything in my power to make Jacob see that we belong together. I want to be with him.

And what I want, I get.

Jacob
She's a temptation I need to resist. Before my best friend died, I promised I would take care of Madison, not try to take her to my bed. When Madison asks me to build her some bookshelves, I can't resist. Being alone with her is a very bad idea. I can't be with her. I shouldn't be with her.

But, what Madison wants, Madison gets. And now that she's mine, I'm never letting her go.

Author's Note: This is the second in a series of stand-alone short and dirty (So.Very.Dirty.) novellas. You do not need to read the first story to enjoy this one. If you're looking for quick, one-handed (ahem) reads with insta-love, over-the-top alpha, blue-collar men then the trope-alicious Working Men series is for you!
