A desert construction site is probably the last place anyone would expect to fall in love, yet that's exactly what happens when wildlife biologist Mari is assigned to protect local wildlife at Jack Wyatt's site. The foreman yells a lot when he sees anyone making a mistake, which is a bit problematic for Mari, who's still sorting through the PTSD of leaving her abusive ex-husband a few years earlier. But when Mari starts paying attention to Jack's shouts, she realizes that he's masking his own fears and issues, and sees the kind soul behind the gruff exterior.
This is a sweet story of two mistreated people coming together and helping each other realize their worth and their abilities. It's nice to see them support one another, though it's definitely a bit difficult to read at times (and some of the romantic bits seemed a bit... odd). That said, I loved learning about nomadic desert biologists, which include the author.
