Beneath the polished town lies a legacy built on silence—and five dangerous truths.

As historian Thea Kendall arrives in Willowbrook to document its iconic architecture, she's drawn into an unraveling puzzle of swirl-coded walls, forgotten ledgers, and the ghost of a long-buried time capsule. Alongside stoic inspector Jasper Monroe, Thea soon finds herself a target of those who want the past to remain sealed.

Every swirl carving is a clue. Every locked cabinet, a warning. As romance sparks and shadows close in, Thea and Jasper must decide if truth is worth the cost—or if some secrets are best left in stone.

For readers who love slow-burn romantic suspense, architectural secrets, and a heroine determined to chase history to the very end.
