Isabella Reyes spent seven years trying to build a family, only to have her husband and her sister burn it down around her. She walked away with nothing but her name and the quiet, devastating knowledge that the people who were supposed to love her most had chosen each other. Now, three years later, she's rebuilt herself from the foundation up — a thriving interior design business, a city apartment that finally feels like hers, and walls around her heart so well-constructed she could sell them as a feature. When her new biggest client turns out to be Marco Vega — warm, steady, annoyingly perceptive — he sees right through the blueprints. Isabella knows better than to trust someone with her heart again. The question is whether she's protecting herself or just punishing herself for surviving.
