I don’t do chaos.
I build things that last and keep my life just as solid.

As a structural engineer and volunteer firefighter in Timber Falls, people call me when everything’s on the verge of collapse. I fix the damage, reinforce the weak spots, and move on. That’s how I live, too. Controlled. Clean. No unnecessary mess.

Then I get sick on Christmas Day!
Bad enough to land in the 24-hour Clinic.
Instead of my regular doctor, I met the new nurse practitioner.

DaShay Blackthorn.

She’s sharp, curvy, and far too calm for a man who doesn’t like surprises. We clash from the start. She challenges me. I resist. And somehow, she gets under my skin without even trying.

I wasn’t looking for love.
I was focused on work, volunteering at the firehouse, and keeping my world steady.

But some women don’t knock.
They step into your life and make you question everything you thought you had built.

Brent Grayson is a mountain man with calloused hands, a rigid code, and a life built on control.
DaShay Blackthorn is the complication he never planned for.

Book 4 of the Timber Falls Sinful Series is an interracial BWWM romance where blue-collar grit meets curvy confidence, emotional tension, and heat no blueprint can contain.
