The Bricklayer is published today!

The Bricklayer is published today!

Released today, 15 April 2015, The Bricklayer is the first NEW Workplace Encounters book in quite a while.

It is the story of Mike Brown, who has been a bricklayer working for the same construction company since leaving high school at eighteen. He loves his work, is a stickler for detail, and prefers working with traditional materials. One day, while building a conservatory for a Victorian house northwest of downtown Baltimore, Mike meets Ash, the landscaper hired to restore the gardens. Ash is so stunned by the sight of Mike working hard, that he stumbles over some of Mike’s equipment and Mike is barely able to save him. When Mike offers to take Ash to dinner as an apology, Ash hesitantly agrees, and the two men start dating. Then Mike is pulled away from his next assignment of building fireplaces by a promotion he doesn’t want, only to be fired for incompetence two weeks later. Three of the fireplaces have collapsed, one seriously injuring a cleaner. With Ash’s support, Mike must figure out who sabotaged his work, and why, before he faces a lawsuit....

Workplace Encounters is inspired by men meeting at work - but definitely staying away from the so-called office romance. This series looks at all types of workplace, even the occasional office may play a role, but the 'romance part' is guaranteed not to take place there.

You can find the book at
Dreamspinner Press


All Romance

... and your local Amazon store.


I hope you enjoy Mike and Ash's story!
