Reese Calder is twenty-eight and the youngest project lead Kestrel Design has ever hired. Her boss is the legendary Callum Voss, who has drawn the skyline of three cities and has never once been wrong in a review. Until now. When Reese walks into his office after midnight and finds him struggling to hold a pencil steady, Callum offers her a deal: run his biggest commission quietly, and he'll make her a partner by spring. Tell no one. Not her mentor. Not the board. What begins as a secret becomes a habit, then a risk neither of them can price out. When the project is sabotaged from inside, Callum does the one thing he's never done - takes the fall. An age-gap office romance about two architects who can design anything except a way out.
