The bad boy and the good girl.

I just started a new job at a lumber mill outside of town.

It’s just a job to me, until I lay eyes on the owner’s daughter.

Then everything changes.

I need this job, and she’s the definition of off-limits—the boss’s daughter.

I should stay away. I know better than to mess with a good girl like her.

After that, she turns her nose up at me, like I’m trash.

Our mutual disdain builds and keeps a needed wall between us.

She stays up the hill at the big house with the pool, and I stay down by the mill.

Until one night tragedy strikes, and I’m the only one left working, the only one there to protect her and take care of her.

Suddenly, our differences aren’t so sharp, and our mutual disdain melts away as we finally see each other more deeply.

Soon a friendship builds, and turns to a secret love that burns hot in the dark of night.
