She’s there to save the gym. He’s the reason she keeps losing focus, and her panties.

Molly Quinn is out of options. No money, no apartment, and no backup plan, just a marketing degree and a closet full of clothes that scream “girlboss” louder than her bank account ever did. When she lands a job at Southside Strength, a gritty South Philly gym in desperate need of help, she’s hoping it’s a stepping stone. Or at least a temporary distraction from her rapidly spiraling life.

She wasn’t expecting Nic Rosetti.

Grumpy. Brooding. Hot as sin. He hates attention, loathes cameras, and wants nothing to do with social media, or Molly’s plan to save the gym with a fresh coat of paint and a few viral reels. He’s spent years trying to stay out of the spotlight, and now this infuriating, pink-lip-gloss-wearing whirlwind is setting up ring lights in his sanctuary.

Their tension is immediate. And combustible.

One heated moment turns into a full-on meltdown, and now neither of them can quit. Not the hookups. Not the fighting. And definitely not whatever this is turning into.

The gym is still on the brink. Their lives are still a mess.

And the last thing either of them expected… is that maybe they’ve finally met their match.

Summer Hustle is a laugh-out-loud, emotionally-charged, extra-spicy romance about falling hard for the one person who pushes all your buttons and knows exactly how to press them.

Book 2 in the Summer Series by Brooke Straiton, this stand-alone romance is perfect for fans of grumpy-sunshine tension, slow-burn spice, and workplace steam with heart. Come for the banter, stay for the bench press.
