Asthma Girl, The Carpenter And The Contract

By Lauren Grace

Enemies to lovers. Forced proximity. A grumpy carpenter, a chaotic party girl, and one twelve-month contract neither of them is ready for.

Lila is 'asthma girl'.

Begrudgingly surviving a life defined by her poor health and even poorer choices.

Struggling to keep her sanity, a boyfriend, or a job - she quits it all, toasting her defeat with too much tequila. But, when she inadvertently lands in the hospital bed opposite Dale, an unlikely opportunity falls in her lap. A watertight, no strings attached contract at his carpentry company.

Dale thinks it's just what she needs. Lila thinks he's deluded. Archie (Dale's business partner), thinks he hates her even more than she hates him.

A twelve-month work contract in a job she knows nothing about, with a man she can't stand, and a trip up Snowdon with problematic lungs.

What's the worst that could happen?
