SHE RESTORED A ROOM. WHAT IT REVEALED COULD DISMANTLE AN EMPIRE.When Simone Bellamy begins restoring Villa Luminara on the shores of Lake Garda, a concealed room reveals a mural-and the signature of Adèle Baptiste, a Black woman whose architectural legacy was buried beneath another man’s name.What begins as a preservation discovery becomes a battle across Italy, France, Switzerland, Martinique, New York, and Savannah. Records vanish. Institutions close ranks. A powerful network moves to control the evidence, and someone begins testing whether Bellamy Architecture can be separated from the woman who built it.Beside Simone, Elias Thorne must confront the secrets buried inside his father’s company and decide what it means to witness the truth without claiming it. Their love remains what it has always been: a partnership between equals, tested not by doubt, but by power.To restore Adèle’s name, Simone must design something larger than a building-a structure capable of returning authorship, inheritance, and authority to those from whom they were taken.
