Rivets Over Paris
High above Paris, where iron beams meet impossible sky, a laundress's daughter with a head for numbers and an ironworker haunted by a fall he never talks about are forced together by a discrepancy in a lift log. Margot reads engineering manuals by candlelight and dreams of a post no one like her is meant to hold; Lucien jokes his way past a fear that could cost him everything if his crew ever saw it plain. When a rushed inspection nearly kills a man on the tower's hydraulic lift, the two of them must choose between comfortable silence and dangerous truth—about a foreman's falsified records, about their own fear, about each other. Rivets Over Paris is a Belle Épocque romance of engineering stakes and earned tenderness, where opening night brings fireworks over the city and a hand that finally stops pretending not to shake. A sensual, non-graphic historical romance for listeners who love workplace tension, class-crossed longing, and a love story built rivet by rivet, all the way to the top. Free sample available.
