When Iris Maicei Gray returns home in search of a luxury condo, she doesn't expect to find Silas Jamar Smith: the quiet boy from her childhood who grew into a self-made construction company owner with a past as solid as the buildings he restores. As unfinished spaces force them into close proximity, old assumptions begin to crack. Silas sees Iris beyond her polish, while Iris is forced to question the life she built to keep herself untouched. Torn between the comfort of status and the vulnerability of being truly seen, Iris must confront the belief that has shaped every relationship she's ever known: that she is easier to 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 than to 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞. Because sometimes, the person who builds everything from the ground up is the only one who can see what's worth keeping.
