Love Under Construction

She can build any future she wants. He’s the man who makes her question the one she chose.

Amelia Rhodes has spent years doing everything right. Long hours, perfect briefs, no room for mistakes—and no room for love. With partnership finally within reach, she’s determined not to let anything derail the career she’s sacrificed everything for.

Logan Reid fixes buildings for a living. Calm, capable, and frustratingly grounded, he knows how to rebuild what’s broken—and when to walk away from what can’t be saved. When a broken elevator traps them together, Amelia dismisses him as an inconvenience she doesn’t have time for. Until she learns he’s the contractor overseeing her firm’s renovation—and suddenly impossible to avoid.

Forced into close proximity, tension simmers as often as sparks fly. Logan sees past Amelia’s control to the woman burning herself out beneath it. Amelia sees in Logan a steadiness she’s never allowed herself to want. But falling for him would mean risking the future she’s worked so hard to secure—and admitting that success might not be enough.

Love Under Construction is a standalone workplace slow-burn contemporary romance. If you love forced proximity, emotional tension, and a romance that builds slowly—but hits hard—you’ll fall for Rumi Ashwood’s newest love story.
