Get ready for a sweet and sexy sapphic workplace romance full of new beginnings, witty banter and delicious tension.

Things have been heading downhill for Jessica Reaves. Underpaid and overworked, her waitressing job has her at her limits. Top that with feeling abandoned by her best friend and a boyfriend who’s more like a man-child than a partner, and she’s in no mood to celebrate her 30th birthday.

Remi Pearce is about to land the biggest building contract of her life, except she’s down an apprentice and desperate to find another tradie lady to join her team. When Jess serves Remi one night, Remi offers her the chance to escape her job and start an apprenticeship.

For Jess, shaking up her life completely could have more flow on effects than she realises. As her new career builds, so do her feelings for her boss. So when a worksite injury threatens to bring Remi’s dreams crashing down—it brings them closer than they can handle.

When professional boundaries slip into dangerous desire, embers flame and lines blur. Will Remi and Jess lead each other onto the right path? Or will they lose themselves even further?

Pick up a power tool and embark on a journey of learning to trust yourself—from the ground up—in this next instalment of the Tradie Lady Series, an interconnected set of standalones from sapphic author Rian Birch.
