Danielle Harper doesn't mix work and relationships-especially not on construction sites.
As a career-focused building inspector, she's used to showing up, doing her job, and leaving without getting attached. But when her assignments keep bringing her back to Carter & Sons Construction, avoiding distractions becomes impossible... especially when the grumpy foreman turns out to be Heather's ex from Too Many Flowers for Valentine's Day.
Jason Morales has learned the hard way that timing matters-and that letting someone walk away can haunt you for years. He's focused on work now, not relationships. But Danielle is smart, independent, and completely unimpressed by his gruff attitude-and the more they clash on site, the harder it becomes to ignore the chemistry between them.
Just as their connection starts turning into something real, Danielle receives the career opportunity she's spent years working toward-one that would take her out of town for good.
Now both of them must decide: Is it safer to protect their careers... or risk everything for a chance at love?
Built to Last is a cozy, heartfelt small-town workplace romance featuring midlife characters, construction-site banter, slow-burn chemistry, and a grumpy foreman who learns it's never too late to build something worth keeping.
