Some debts were never meant to be paid.
He came to restore a building. He wasn’t supposed to want the woman who hired him—or find the secret her family sealed inside its walls.
Begin at the sealed door
Every family has a rule no one explains.
The Kavanaghs’ rule is simple: leave the Mercer name alone.
Roman Mercer builds beautiful things. When a commission takes him into a forgotten building in Kansas City, the work should be simple: restore it, document it, leave it.
Siobhan Kavanagh runs the legitimate face of a family that keeps its other faces well hidden. Then Roman finds the old plans, the sealed room, and the date that should not be there.
