Allison Walton’s work boots thump on the cellar stairs, as she carries supplies into her brand new catering business. Allison doesn’t take anything from anyone. Period. Except for today, when a business offer she can’t refuse makes her write a check she shouldn’t draft. Now, she’s wondering how she’s going to keep it all going. One thing’s for sure, she doesn’t have time to fall in love.
Derrick Moss has one of the most dangerous jobs in the city, working on a raising gang, putting up the steel skeletons of the city’s tallest buildings. It’s a job he loves, but his best friends are messing up his orderly life.
Betrayed by his father when he was young, Derrick knows people don’t always say what they think - until he meets Allison, that is.
Together, they battle it out for dominance over themselves, their futures and anything that threatens the people they love. For these two warriors, backing down is never an option. But when one of Derrick’s own makes a disastrous decision, the way forward isn’t just costly…
It’s Tough Going.
