Grace meets grit when an etiquette historian and a restoration blacksmith are forced to co-host a "Modern Manners" channel to win the job of a lifetime: rebuilding the city's beloved wrought-iron greenhouse.
Iris Vale believes good manners keep people safe. Cal MacKenna believes good craft keeps stories standing. On camera, they spar like Jane Austen met a forge; off camera, they learn that the right kind of tension draws things tight.
But sabotage, a leaked kiss, and a too-good network deal test the boundary between what the world gets to see and what belongs only to them. Choosing spectacle would be easy. Choosing each other—on their terms—takes courage, patience, and a lot of rivets.
Ink & Iron is a sparkling, slow-burn rom-com about repairing what matters: landmarks, reputations, and the rooms we make safe for love.
