Under Construction - Paperback

by Kate Cole (Author)

Avery has had enough.

Two years into the rehabilitation of the historic Taylor Building-a project plagued by delays and cost overruns-she'd like nothing more than to see the back of the site trailer, and pesky Project Manager Kent Armstrong.

Avery is a no-frills team player who knows her way around a mortar shack and is determined to chip her way through the patriarchal barriers of heritage stone masonry.

Kent is a buttoned-up budget boy with a stony facade. Impossible to please, he's a cost, scope, and schedule junkie who thinks he knows best and never seems to listen to his expert mason.

When Kent and Avery meet steel toe to steel toe on the scaffold, tempers flare and egos clash. Will she crack his hard exterior? Or will the fissures she hides beneath her carefully honed exterior undermine her own footings?

Sometimes there's more to people-and projects-than meets the eye.
