CHAPTER 32: Eleanor desires me
Eleanor had spent the past week at the Royal Exchange renovation site, the kind of high-end heritage contract she used to only dream about.
It was also the job that had dumped her directly into the same orbit as Marcus Green.
Mr. Landon had hired her as lead carpenter, impressed by her precision and unorthodox designs.

Eleanor had considered quitting. She’d fantasized about it. But work was work, and her family needed this paycheck.
