The Lineman: A heartwarming contemporary mm romance (Heartstrings of Honor Book 3)

A brawny lineman, a ginger English teacher, and a horny pup. What could go wrong? Mike Albert hated moving, but there he was, standing in the driveway of his brand-new home, exhausted, exasperated, and—thanks to his hyperactive Jack Russell—already causing a scene. Then he saw him. All broad shoulders and thick, chest coated in sweat and debris, with a voice like honey over gravel and wielding an ax like it was an extension of his own body. It was too bad their introduction involved his dog aggressively humping the man’s leg--like serious, puppy making humping. Eliot, a no-nonsense power lineman, was used to storms—both the electrical kind and the messes people make of their lives. He didn’t expect the nervous, fast-talking new guy next door to turn his world upside down, but with Mike's awkward charm, penchant for disasters, and a dimple that should've been illegal, Eliot found himself intrigued. What started as a neighborly friendship quickly turned into something more—something warm, electric, and undeniable, but Mike had a history of playing it safe, and Eliot spent years keeping people at arm’s length. Could a jittery schoolteacher and a grounded, gruff lineman find common ground? Or would their connection short-circuit before they got a chance to light up the night? Fans of witty banter, steamy slow burn romance, and adorable disasters will fall head over heels for The Lineman, the third book in the hilarious Heartstrings of Honor series in which each story features men who serve those around them. These books may be read as standalones, but characters recur, making them even better when read in series order. View Less
