Synopsis In a towering glass hotel that pierces the London skyline, Lena Moore keeps her head down and her smile professional. As the senior night receptionist at the exclusive Meridian Hotel, she's trusted, efficient, and discreet. After three years on the graveyard shift, she knows every guest, every camera angle, and every corridor like the back of her hand. What she doesn't know is why, lately, she keeps catching shadows out of the corner of her eye. Why her flat was broken into but nothing was taken. Why the same unmarked car keeps parking across the road. She tells herself it's just paranoia-but a quiet voice inside her says it might have something to do with the past she's tried to leave behind. Lucas Quinn-the hotel's stoic, by-the-book night security officer-is all rules and clipped radio calls. A former military man, Lucas carries his own ghosts and keeps a careful wall between himself and everyone else. Except when it comes to Lena. With her, his edges soften. He lingers too long at the front desk. Offers coffee he pretends he just happened to make. Smiles more than anyone's ever seen him smile. But he's hiding something too-something that keeps him stationed at this particular hotel, night after night. What Lena doesn't know is that her estranged father-Stewart Moretti, a decorated London fireman-once ran with a crew far darker than any back-alley arson. The past he buried is rising again, and Lena, unknowingly, is right in the middle of it. When an anonymous envelope slides across the front desk one night-no return address, just her name-Lena's world begins to unravel. The man who watches over her every night might be the only one she can trust. Or the most dangerous one of all. As secrets surface and the walls close in, Lena and Lucas must navigate a love neither of them can afford. Because in a city full of lights, the darkest things always happen after hours.
