Naked is Kayla’s style. She’s exposed to bare skin more than the average person—like when she’s up to her elbows in massage oil, soothing the tired muscles of the construction crew building her new spa, a barter to offset some of the cost.

An accident on the Hot Rods construction site draws Mike to Middletown. Not to assume his role as foreman, but to help his best friend, Joe, learn the ropes.

When James was a kid, he aspired to be a superhero’s sidekick. He’s never enjoyed being the boss. Not while working for the Powertools and not in his love life. Fortunately, his husband and wife are far better at assuming control than he is. With each of his spouses stepping up to be the foreman of their own crews, James is left wondering what there is for a cute, hyper-organized former construction worker to do in Middletown. Sure, he could play house husband for his spouses, and the rest of their sometimes lovers, while taking care of their ever-expanding family.
