Palimpsest is an ancient manuscript, its original text scraped away so something new could be written over it. Yet if you hold it to the light, the first words are always still there, faint beneath the new ones. Elias Navarro doesn't believe in coincidence. He believe in blueprints, in things that can be measured, planned, and controlled. So when a client cancels her dream home mid-design and pays every cent of the invoice without a word of complaint, it doesn't just confuse him. It unsettles something he didn't know could be unsettled. Ivy Bennett doesn't believe in starting over. She believes in growing things slowly, the way she always has-one flower shop, one client, one careful arrangement at a time. She just walked away from the wedding she spent four years building toward, and she has no intention of explaining why to anyone, least of all a stranger in a five-thousand-dollar suit who somehow understood her flower arrangement better than most people understand her. Neither of them is looking for anything. That is precisely how they end up finding each other, twice, three times, the too many time to call it chance anymore. Both of them have been left standing at an altar that never got built. Both of them know exactly what it costs to trust someone with a future again. Palimpsest is a story about what is written underneath the things we thought we'd erased. Some things can't be erased completely, and some things aren't meant to be.
