Adrian Thorne was a man of cold lines and concrete structures. As a world-class architect, he designed buildings that were "impenetrable fortresses." He lived a life of controlled perfection in a penthouse overlooking London. But his perfection was shattered the day Sienna Moretti walked into his firm.
Sienna was a restoration expert, hired to help Adrian with his most ambitious project: the renovation of the Blackwood Manor, an estate with a dark, Victorian history. Unlike the cold, modern women Adrian knew, Sienna was fire and mystery. She spoke of the "soul" of buildings and the secrets hidden behind walls.
The drama began as they spent long nights at the manor. Between the dusty blueprints and the flickering candlelight, an intense romance ignited. Adrian, who never let anyone in, found himself obsessed with her. He loved the way she smelled of sandalwood and old paper; she loved the danger she saw lurking in his dark eyes.
