candid picture of the disaster. Devon knew she would frame one of the standard portraits of the group they’d sat for earlier to hang in the living room of the apartment she shared with James and Neil.
But the snapshot he’d just captured would go in their bedroom.
It would live in the hearts and minds of the crew.
Forever.

Kate’s Crew
© 2010
Sultry summer heat has nothing on the five-man crew renovating the house next door. No one could blame Kate for leaning out the window for a better view of the manscape. The nasty fall that follows isn’t part of her fantasy—but the man who saves her from splattering the sidewalk is definitely the star.
When Mike personally attends to her injuries, she realizes her white knight in a hard hat has a tender side, giving her no choice but to surrender to the lust that’s been arcing between them since day one.

The thunk of her forehead hitting the sheetrock patch she’d finished installing an hour ago almost drowned out her sigh. Her cell phone vibrated, alerting her to an incoming text message. Every hypersensitive nerve in her body jumped to attention.
She flipped open the phone. Mike.
Meet me in our laundry room. Come in through the garage. Quiet. Quick.
Ignoring his command would be prudent. Also impossible.
Kate sprinted along the hall then took the stairs two at a time before racing out the rear entrance. She hopped the low stone wall dividing their properties then snuck into the neighboring garage like a cat burglar working a world-class heist.
Her hand brushed the doorknob leading from the car bay into the house, where the washer and drier would one day go, but she
