Echoes in the Marble

Kayla Waylen is a master of silence.
In a world of Italian marble and glass-walled penthouses, she has learned that breathing too loud is a dangerous mistake. Trapped in a marriage to Mark Waylen-a man who treats her like a brand to be "corrected" rather than a wife to be loved-Kayla is a ghost. She is a "waste tin," a broken masterpiece hidden behind professional-grade concealer and designer silk.
Skylie Sterling is a man who moves markets with a whisper.
The "Titan of Blackwood" has no room for sentiment, but he carries a debt of blood. When the daughter of the man who saved his life is being dismantled by a coward, Skylie decides to intervene. He doesn't just come to save her; he comes to claim her.
But the Sterling Estate is a fortress of obsidian and secrets. As Kayla is pulled from the shadows of her past into the blinding light of Skylie's obsession, she must navigate a new world of "Master and Servant" dynamics, high-stakes power plays, and a protective love that borders on the fanatical.
Skylie promised to be her shield. But as the echoes of her trauma fade, Kayla realizes that the man who saved her soul is the same one who won't let her go.
He saved her life. Now, he's going to give her a reason to live it.
