Working It Out
Working It Out
by KAANON
Autumn Hathaway has spent years rebuilding herself after a toxic relationship—swearing off men, mess, and anything that might threaten her hard-won peace. By day, she’s a bestselling romance author with a secret pen name; by night, she’s just a woman trying to make it to the end of a workout without falling off the treadmill.
Enter Will Thorne—tattooed, irreverent, and infuriatingly charming personal trainer—who catches her mid-stumble and somehow never lets go. What starts as gym banter and caffeine-fueled flirting quickly turns into something the kind of chemistry that burns hotter than calories and scares her more than she’ll admit.
But as Autumn learns to trust again, her past comes knocking—literally. An ex who won’t stay gone, a lawsuit threatening to expose her identity, and the quiet fear that maybe she’s too much for anyone to love. Thorne, patient and steady, has to prove that real strength isn’t found in muscle—it’s in showing up, even when things get hard.
Between late-night edits, babysitting chaos, and kisses that rewrite her idea of safety, Autumn starts to realize that love doesn’t require perfect form. Just the courage to keep working it out.
