Dream Maker

Evie is a self-described nerd with a sharp mind, and she has relied on no one but herself since childhood. Her family never backed her, so when she decides to earn an engineering degree, she looks for money outside the usual routes.

She takes a job dancing at Smithie's club, expecting a quick side gig that will cover what she needs. She has little dancing skill, though, and a bad boy with an alpha streak starts watching over her far more closely than she asked.

That man is Daniel "Mag" Magnusson. He is handsome, quick with a joke and a bit of a rogue, and the humor is a mask. Underneath, he carries a broken heart and PTSD, and he knows pain well.

Once Evie arrives in his life, Mag has to face the demons of his past if he wants any future with her. Evie, meanwhile, has to see whether the quick job she planned can stay quick. The romance is contemporary, with a comic surface and a wounded centre.
