Palmetto Cove: Deedee and Gabe

She's the boss's daughter. He's the grumpy foreman who doesn't want her on his crew. Guess who's about to get her hands dirty? Deedee Tackett traded her paralegal pantsuit for work boots and never looked back. After three years of corporate hell and a sleazy boss, she's done with air-conditioned offices. She wants to work for her dad's plumbing company-the business she grew up in, the trade she actually loves. There's just one problem: Gabe Adkins. Her dad's foreman is six feet of muscle, scowls, and "absolutely not." He sees her as a liability, a babysitting job, daddy's princess playing at manual labor. Never mind that Deedee can identify a sewage backup by smell or knows her PEX from copper. Gabe's made up his mind, and he's not budging. Fine. She'll just have to prove him wrong. What starts as professional frustration turns into something neither of them expected. Late nights fixing emergency calls. Close quarters under sinks and in crawl spaces. Gabe's rough hands teaching her the finer points of pipe threading. The crew's merciless teasing about their "chemistry." And then the kiss that changes everything. Now they're sneaking around, stealing moments between job sites, pretending nothing's happening when her dad's around. But Palmetto Cove is a small town, and secrets don't stay hidden for long. When their relationship goes public, Deedee and Gabe will have to decide: are they willing to risk everything for a love that started in the most inconvenient place possible?
