Book One
The Fine Print Fiasco
Ruthie Sloan has ninety days to keep Danforth Union Station's grand reopening from turning into a lawsuit. Mateo Reyes has ninety days to make sure anyone shows up.
She's the Junction Partnership's contracts counsel: precise, unshakeable, allergic to the phrase "we'll figure it out later." He's the pop-up chef the whole plan is banking on, the kind of man who names a broken safety barrier the Ceremonial Rope of No and somehow still gets people to line up behind it. Their first morning together goes about as well as you'd expect from a woman who color-codes disasters and a man who treats "legal roster" as more of a suggestion.
The ninety-day agreement that could save the station only works if they both succeed, on paper and in person, and neither one has ever been good at needing someone else to get it right. A rival proposal is one misstep away from taking their spot. And somewhere between the vendor spreadsheets and the growing list of things neither the building nor the paperwork agrees on, the last thing either of them expects is to start looking forward to the mess.
The Fine Print Fiasco is the opposites-attract, forced-teamwork opener to Meet Me at the Junction, a closed-door contemporary romantic-comedy series about the couples bringing a hundred-year-old train station back to life. Complete happily ever after. No cliffhanger.
