Harper Wren has spent her whole life being the spark for other people's fires. Now, she’s finally going to let herself burn.

Arriving at The Foundry—a remote, converted cannery surrounded by the moody Pacific Northwest rain—Harper is there to do a job. She needs to bridge the agonizing eight-year gap between two brilliant, contrasting artists to complete a massive installation.

Julian Cross is all rigid, architectural control; a master woodworker who demands perfection and absolute submission to his schedule. Cade Renner is raw, silent strength; a blacksmith shaping heavy steel with heat, power, and instinct.

Together, they are oil and water. But Harper is the copper wire and red thread meant to bind their work together.

As the relentless Oregon rain hammers the tin roof, the tension inside The Foundry reaches a boiling point. The lines between professional collaboration and intense, consuming desire blur. Harper doesn't just inspire them—she forces Julian to surrender his iron-clad control and gives Cade the strength to finally vocalize his needs. What starts as a commission transforms into an intricate, intoxicating masterpiece of three people finding exactly what they need in the dark.

The Makers & The Muse is a steamy, highly atmospheric, standalone MMF romance featuring forced proximity, intense emotional slow-burn, and explicit, scorching heat
