Built for Power by Kathleen Brooks

If you liked Kathleen Brooks' Bluegrass series, you will like this series as well. This is the second book in the new series, and while it can be read as a standalone, I don't really recommend it. There are so many characters, it helps to have background knowledge from the previous book.

This book focuses on Bree, the sister of Mallory from book one. Bree heads up her family's construction business. Problems abound at the worksite, and one of the problems is Logan Ward, an architect in London who is keeping her plans all mixed up. When Logan arrives in the states to rectify the problems, he is just in time to help save Bree from possibly a deadly injury. The two fight and argue but eventually realize they are on the same side. Things don't get any less complicated, however. Job problems continue to occur, and Bree faces prejudice all around for being a woman in a man's profession.

Though we know from almost the outset who the criminal is, the storyline was really good and had a lot of action. Fair warning, this author's series are not hardened mysteries or deep dark thrillers, but for light romantic suspense, I really enjoy them.
