Layla came to Timber Ridge with blueprints, a deadline, and zero interest in complications.

She knows exactly where every drain, every prep sink, and every pressure line needs to go.

He didn’t ask. Didn’t warn her. Just roughed in his plumbing and left her standing in the middle of her own design with nothing to show her clients but a set of drawings that no longer match the floor.
