Hearts Under Construction

Hearts Under Constructionby Joanne StarrOn a high-profile skyscraper project, pressure is constant and reputations are built as carefully as steel and glass. Tessa Calder arrives on site as the new project coordinator, determined to prove she belongs in a world ruled by deadlines, egos, and impossible expectations. She is sharp, ambitious, and unafraid to want more from both her career and her personal life.
Her boss, Richard Hale, is the kind of executive who keeps everything tightly controlled, including himself, until long hours and shared crises start to blur the lines between professional and personal. Then there is Claire Bennett, the brilliant engineer who works just as hard, speaks just as directly, and challenges Tessa in ways she did not expect. As the tower climbs higher, so do the emotional stakes.
Rumors, power dynamics, and a looming turning point force all three to confront what they really want and what they are willing to risk. In a world where every decision is under scrutiny, Tessa must decide whether she is building a future on solid ground or balancing everything on a fault line. Hearts Under Construction is a steamy contemporary romance about ambition, attraction, and complicated choices, set against the intensity of a major construction project.
It delivers strong characters, workplace tension, and a high-heat emotional journey with a satisfying, hopeful conclusion.
