📚 Book 2 of a completed 2-book series
When a serious workplace accident shifts the power dynamics on the pipeline job, Andy and Rooster find themselves on opposite sides of decisions that matter—both professionally and personally. Working grueling hours in the oppressive summer heat while navigating new leadership challenges, this couple discovers that maintaining their relationship takes just as much determination and teamwork as getting the job done right. With Andy's parents arriving to stir the pot and both partners desperate to prove themselves at work, they'll have to decide what they're willing to risk to keep their love alive. It's a swoon-worthy, tension-filled continuation that asks the real question: can romance survive when ambition and duty pull you in different directions?
Reading soundtrack
Acoustic indie and soft pop capturing the tension of two people fighting to stay together under pressure. Honest, tender vocals with underlying urgency—like summer heat meets quiet devotion. Think folk-tinged acoustics and gentle alternative rock.
