What happens when a forbidden love unlocks a city's buried secrets?
Aelia Thorne, trapped by her family's legacy of corporate greed, falls for Elara, a community artist whose murals ignite a passion Aelia never knew existed. But Thorne Industries has plans to destroy Elara's neighborhood, and Aelia is caught in the crossfire.
As Elara's art begins to manifest visions of a past injustice tied to the Thorne family - the stakes skyrocket. The murals become a dangerous weapon, revealing a history someone wants desperately to keep hidden.
When a key figure in the community is murdered to silence the truth, Aelia must choose: protect her family's empire, or risk everything to stand with Elara and expose the conspiracy.
Can Aelia and Elara trust each other enough to fight back? Will it be enough to save the community, or will history repeat itself in a devastating cycle of greed and violence?

Catherine Vale is an artist with a fragile heart, running from a past that refuses to let her go. When their paths collide, sparks ignite-dangerous, irresistible, and impossible to deny.

Saving Grace
In Northvale, Vermont, appearances are everything-and silence is safer than truth. Riley swore she'd never go back. After Grace ghosted her the week she left, after the countless moments under the train bridge where Riley told her best friend, Grace, that she loved her, and Grace said nothing. She moved weeks later and never heard from Grace again. Northvale became a place Riley only carried in memory-a place that hurt. Years later, Riley is building a life far from it all in Chicago. But when something deep and unnamed pulls her back, she finds herself standing once again in the town that made her feel small. And standing face-to-face with Grace Whitmore's parents-who, with haunting familiarity, invite her to stay in Grace's house. The place where she practically grew up. Grace has spent the last seven years trying to forget. Forget how she froze. Forget how she let Riley leave. Forget who she really was before the expectations of her family, her church, and her town hardened into something unrecognizable. Riley's return threatens all of it. As the two women are forced to navigate a shared home, buried feelings resurface-and so do the forces that drove them apart. In a town that still watches their every move, Riley and Grace must decide what's more dangerous: pretending to be something they're not, or choosing each other and facing the consequences. ⸻ ⚠️THIS BOOK IS STILL IN THE MAKING AND MANY EDITS ARE TO COME⚠️Complete
