Girl Under Construction
When 26-year-old perennial screw-up Sammy gets fired from her third job in six months, the next step is obvious: crash a wedding with her best friend to blow off some steam. But her night goes awry when she makes a fool of herself in front of Nate, a sexy carpenter ten years older than her who offers her a spot on his crew.Sammy's desperate to catch Nate's eye as more than a walking disaster, but keeping up with the boys becomes more challenging than she anticipated when the site foreman singles her out at every turn. If she wants to prove herself, Sammy must learn that showing up is about more than simply being on time for work—it's about being the best version of herself, no matter what other people think.
A standalone romantic comedy for readers who enjoy #womeninmalefields!

Jess' folklore-inspired short story, The Curse of the Fairy Queen, appears in the emerge 20 anthology.A brief subscription to Harlequin historicals as a tween made a romance fan out of Jess, though she reads in a variety of genres.
