Enemies at work. Stranded in Scotland. One grumpy ops manager and a sunshine coder are about to rewrite the rules.

Claire Broussard is ready for a fresh start-new job, new city, and hopefully fewer workplace disasters. But her new assignment comes with a grumpy coworker who seems determined to keep her at arm's length.

Noah Raines has spent years climbing the ladder at Caprock Enterprises, only to find the top rung missing. Training the overly cheerful new developer wasn't part of his plan-especially when she starts getting under his skin in all the wrong (and right) ways.

When a routine business trip turns into an emergency landing in a remote Scottish village, Claire and Noah are forced to share close quarters. As sparks fly and walls come down, their slow-burn chemistry threatens to upend everything-especially when a surprise promotion puts their future on the line.

Set in the good old boy world of oilfield services, Code Block is a slow burn grumpy/sunshine, enemies-to-lovers workplace romance with forced proximity, sharp banter, and a heartfelt happily ever after-no third-act breakup required. (Spice level is 3 of 5 or PG-13.) Code Block is book 2 in the Women of Caprock series of interconnected standalones.
