Love on the Line Andrea trades her stressful graduate studies for an unexpected adventure: working on a pipeline crew deep in the West Virginia mountains alongside her estranged grandfather Buck. Among the rough-and-tumble guys who don't quite know what to do with her, she catches the attention of Rooster, the cocky tie-in foreman who's determined to keep his distance—especially since Buck is his mentor and the last thing he needs is to cross the old man. As Andrea proves herself a capable worker and earns her place on the crew, the chemistry between her and Rooster becomes impossible to ignore, forcing them both to decide what they're willing to risk for a chance at love. It's a swoon-worthy story about found family, redemption, and the kind of connection that's worth braving the dangers both on the job and in your own heart.
