Fire Within

"She's all sunlit smiles and stitched-up sorrow. He's ice in a tailored suit. In the silence between elevator floors, something unspoken begins to bloom."

When Lucy Addams lands her dream job as a magazine editor in a high-rise dripping with power and polished ambition, the last thing she expects is him-Collin Brookes, the brooding, sharp-tongued lawyer who shares her elevator, her building, and, unfortunately, her patience.

He's everything she's not: wealthy, unbothered, emotionally unavailable with a scowl tailored to perfection. She's soft smiles and messy coffee orders, hiding grief beneath vintage dresses and relentless optimism.

For eleven months, they've exchanged barbs, eye-rolls, and exactly eight words of conversation. But when a high-stakes story forces them to work side by side, their walls begin to crack-and what leaks through is nothing either of them are prepared for.

Because beneath Lucy's sunshine is a storm she's never spoken of.
And behind Collin's silence is a man who sees too much.

Enemies-to-lovers. Slow burn. Scars you can't see.
Welcome to the elevator that changes everything.
