Working Hard: The Locksmith

It has been a few months since I last published a story. Life has gotten in the way, but I am back at it again. I am currently working on several new stories and books and this is the first in my new Working Hard series. This title is about The Locksmith, and I hope you enjoy it.

In the misty heart of the English countryside, where stone cottages whisper secrets and time moves at a gentler pace, lives Tom Weller—a quiet, dependable locksmith in his fifties with weathered hands and a marriage long rusted at the hinges. His days are filled with fixing locks and winding clocks, while his nights are weighed down by silence shared with a wife who no longer sees him.

Then comes Jamie—a vibrant, curious man twenty or so years his junior, returning to the village after years away. When Jamie walks into the locksmith shop asking for help, neither of them anticipates how a simple key will open a door neither dared knock on.

What begins as casual companionship grows into something far deeper—an affection neither can ignore. As their bond intensifies behind closed doors, so too does the risk. In a town where everyone knows everyone, and appearances are everything, Tom and Alex must navigate their impossible feelings, the expectations of a tight-knit community, and the aching question that haunts them both: Can love survive the weight of truth?

Torn between duty and desire, Tom must face the woman he once vowed to love and the man who has stirred something he thought long dead.
