Hardass by Tarin Lex

Architect Chase Wander isn’t the easiest man to work for. Brusque, authoritative, and with an artistic integrity that’s borderline absolute, he leaves little room for compromise.
When one thing after another goes awry on a special project in a remote mountain town, Chase has no choice but to partner with structural engineer Avery Dash, and he’d better play nice…
She might be the youngest, prettiest thing he’s ever seen in a hard hat, but underestimating her would be at his own peril. Avery is tough as nails, and she has her own integrity to uphold—her loyalty to the small-town community and natural landscape.
There’s just one teeny-tiny distraction…and it looks fabulous in Carhartt pants.
Sometimes the best-laid plans go up in smoke.
And love moves in.
