So for the next three months he will be working a Queens's rubbish removal company(same rules apply as Aaron, he can't go by his real name so he is Ryan Jones). Complete with a bubbly secretary, Anna Nowakowski, who is determined to draw Ryan out of his shell. To interact with the other employees at the company. At first her exorbitant behaviour grates on his nerves but he soon looks forward to her bubbly attitude. Besides being attracted to each other is there something else that draws these two together? His grandfather chose that company for a reason.

Aaron Under Construction by Marin Thomas, A. Romance, #1124, July 2006 (series: book 1- The McKade Brothers)

Maybe sometimes Aaron McKade took his family's wealth for granted and being the youngest McKade brother rode the coattails of his brothers. They seemed to always dismiss his ideas. But was that any reason for his grandfather to try and teach him responsibility by making him work construction by building houses in the barrio of south central L.A for 3 months. (another condition was that he not reveal his identity so he went by Aaron Smith) Jennifer Alvardo, the crew foreman, can bet this anglo has never worked construction before. Even though she becomes attracted to Aaron, she can't lower her guard with a man she couldn't trust. And Jennifer had learned that trust was the foundation in a relationship. And she couldn't forgive herself for her mother and brother's death.
