Playing for Time
by Barbara Bretton
1987
A romance shaped by waiting, wanting, and the pressure of one last chance. Bretton keeps the focus on hearts that are not nearly as guarded as they pretend.

Series background & context
Men at Work suggests romances built around jobs, competence, and the collision between professional focus and personal feeling. That structure fits Barbara Bretton well. She likes characters who are busy, practical, and a little thrown off by how inconvenient love can be.
In a series like this, the workplace is not just scenery. It shapes the power dynamics, the tension, and often the attraction itself. Readers can expect capable adults, sparks under pressure, and romances that grow out of shared tasks as much as shared longing.
If workplace chemistry is your thing, Men at Work looks like a natural match.
