Sharon stepped between them. “Is that true?”

Logan shrugged. “It’s better than half the dives I played in as a teen. I’ll know better when the stage is framed out and I can practice with my band.”

He knew that calculating gleam in Sharon’s eyes. She’d do anything to advance the town. It was a perfect getaway place for all of the seasons. There was hiking close by and skiing for the winter types. They were close to the Adirondacks, but far enough off the beaten path that they kept a small town vibe. He didn’t want to ruin that, but he knew a town needed revenue. Music could give it to them.

At least he could do that.

“Think you can get that stage ready for my band and some extra friends?”

Cam twirled his pencil a few times, then nodded. “Can do.”

Logan nodded to the hole in the roof. “And that?”

“It’ll be done by noon tomorrow.”

“Good. I’ve got a guy that will deliver a lighting rig.”

Cam scribbled on his notebook and ripped off the page. “Have your guy call me and we’ll set it up.”

He blew out a breath and kneaded his triceps. It was going to be a lot of work. “If you need another pair of hands, I’m available.”

Cam’s eyebrows shot up. “Pardon?”

He shrugged. “Not like we haven’t worked together before.” He wasn’t doing much up at the cabin. Sweaty work would keep his mind off of things.

Cam scratched the back of his head. “Not that I wouldn’t appreciate the help, but I think the distraction level would negate any help you could give.” Cam’s attention zeroed in on the barn door where a handful of people had gathered. Phones were out and recording no doubt.

The tabloids would love to get a look at him sweating. Christ. As usual, he couldn’t even volunteer without causing trouble. “Gotcha.”

Cam frowned. “Look, I could—”

Logan held up his hand. “Nah, man. I get it. You need to get work done.”

The frown lines grooved into Cam’s forehead smoothed. “Next time.”

“Just let Sharon know how much you need to get it worked out for Thursday.” he dipped his hands into his pockets. “Evidently, I’m doing three extra shows.”

“It’s going to take overtime to get it ready that fast.”

“Sharon, have a hearty lunch brought in for the crew. My treat.”

“Of course.”

Cam gave him a half salute. “My crew will appreciate it.”

Some days his money made things easier. Cam headed back to the group of guys that were obviously looking for direction. Or spying.

Logan pinched the bridge of his nose. “All right, love of my life, I’m out of here.”

Sharon pinked and laughed. “You’re incorrigible.”

He arched a brow. “Innocent. Completely.”

She patted his arm. “Do you want me to take care of that?” She threw a glance at the small crowd of people.

“No, I’ve got it.” Game face time. “I’m not kidding about the stage and the budget.”
