Isla Bennett - The Architect
She designs skyscrapers with precision and grace, but when it comes to love, her foundations have long since crumbled. Five years ago, she walked away from the man she thought she'd marry, determined to rebuild her life brick by brick. Now, at twenty-eight, Isla is one of the most sought-after architects in the city - sharp, sophisticated, and untouchable. Or so she tells herself... until fate puts him in her blueprint again.
Grayson "Gray" West - The Engineer
He's the kind of man who can make steel obey and concrete stand tall. But the one thing he couldn't hold together was them. Time has turned the charming boy Isla once loved into a man with an edge - reserved, calculated, and impossible to read. Assigned as the lead engineer on Isla's biggest project, Gray knows this is more than just work. The past is still there... and so is the pull he swore he'd buried.
Together
Five years apart. One project. A thousand unspoken words.
The question is - will they rebuild... or collapse for good?
