Rebel - Beverly Jenkins

I'm a big fan of Drake's way of dealing with a man who intentionally underpaid him for his work when he was hired to build him a barn.

He took the payment, grabbed his sledgehammer, tore down the barn with it, and then cheerily handed the payment back to the man who watched him do the whole thing and had been trying to get him to stop by saying he'd pay Drake what he'd promised.

(show spoiler)

 

The man is apparently well-known for cheating contractors out of money, but I bet he'll think twice about doing that after this.
