Neuhold’s new Big Bull Mechanics series, which spins off from her popular Four Bears Construction series. Now Porter and Steele must figure out if they are better together, or if their busy schedules are going to pull them apart.Ĭrankshaft is the first book in K.M. But with both men overwhelmed running their businesses, they worry this may just not be the right time to start a relationship. Soon, the men are spending more time with one another and even starting to fall for each other. But as they become friends and start hanging out together, Porter and Steele also realize that having someone else for support really makes a big difference. Their schedules barely align enough to see each other regularly anyway. When the guys meet, the attraction flares between them, but neither is ready for anything more. Porter is so busy he can barely think of anything else, so he too isn’t looking for love right now. But he loves the idea of his small practice where he can really give his patients and their owners true attention. When a big veterinary corporation comes sniffing around, part of Porter is tempted to just sell to them so he doesn’t have to worry anymore. Being a vet in the real world is much different than being in school and while he loves his time with the animals, managing the business side of things is much harder for him. Porter has just graduated vet school and bought his own practice and he is totally overwhelmed.

His non-stop schedule means Steele isn’t looking for anything serious, but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t be up for a hookup, particularly with an adorable veterinarian. His friends tell him he needs to stop taking care of everyone else, but Steele can’t help his desire to look out for those he cares about. He also is constantly being dragged into his brother’s problems and finds himself needing to bail his brother out time and again.

Business is good, but the work is never ending. Steele is running himself ragged as the owner of Big Bull garage.
