The Wildwork Guild Series 1 - The Bridge of Borrowed Mornings

Yesterday's repairs are gone. Something beneath the bridge is still breathing. At forty-six, master bridge engineer Beatrice Halden has built a life on solving difficult problems. Greywake Bridge presents an impossible one: repairs vanish at dawn, and workers are losing their memories of making them. Across the broken span, a mountain city waits for its road back. Her way beneath the bridge lies with Gideon Rusk, a widowed expedition leader with steady hands, inconveniently good judgment, and a troubling suspicion about what the old stone holds inside. Bea wants time to find an answer. Gideon knows when a dangerous route stops offering a way out. As they descend into hidden chambers and spring runoff threatens the work, shared suppers become lingering kisses. Their attraction is mutual. Making room for it is harder. Bea is accustomed to carrying every responsibility herself; Gideon is better at being useful than asking to stay. With the city's crossing at stake, they must trust each other's expertise—and decide whether two independent lives have room for something lasting.
