Saving Natalie
The Working Women Series, Book 3
By Jenna Kent
Love and plumbing collide as Natalie, a quirky plumber with a knack for unusual finds, and Dana, a rebellious woman from a strict family, embark on a passionate romance that tests their resolve to protect their love against all odds.
Natalie
As a professional plumber, I pride myself on running an honest business. But with pipes come peculiar situations – you wouldn’t believe the things I’ve pulled out of plumbing systems. Fish, exotic sea life, and even small animals have all found their way into my care. Living a lonely life with only Temple Bar as a safe haven for lesbians in Detroit, love has always been elusive for me. So when Lauren and her new wife invite me over for a couples night, I wonder what they could possibly want with a single woman like me. But when Lauren pulls her best friend card, I reluctantly attend and that’s when I meet Dana. She steals my heart with just one look, but then breaks it by blowing me off. Yet fate brings us back together when she needs help from a plumber – me. As I work to save Dana from the clutches of her strict family and their law-based lifestyle, I realize she may be the one saving me instead. Because with just one look, she stole my heart and now I don’t want it back.
Dana
I’ve spent my whole life trying to break free from the expectations of my wealthy family. They are all lawyers and judges, with strict rules and guidelines for me, but I refused to conform. Being on my own has been tough, without the luxuries they provided, but I have something even more precious – my independence. When my friend Samantha invites me to meet her new wife, I go along to support her, only to find out Samantha is playing matchmaker with a stunning redhead named Natalie. Despite her beauty, I can’t afford to date anyone right now as I struggle with personal problems. But when I encounter a plumbing issue at the coffee shop where I waitress, I have no choice but to ask Natalie for help. She agrees, but with one condition – that I go on a week-long date with her. During that week, she sweeps me off my feet in a whirlwind romance that I never thought possible. But Natalie doesn’t understand the risks involved. My heart belongs to this amazing woman, but my family has the power to destroy her. I’ll do whatever it takes to protect Natalie and our love, even if it means sacrificing my own happiness.
