Screws and Spite: A Romance
Some foundations have to shatter before they can be rebuilt.
Silas Peters designs the Manhattan skyline, but his own foundation is crumbling. Two years after a devastating fall on a construction site, the billionaire architect is held together by titanium screws, painkillers, and a ruthless, stubborn ego. With his magnum opus-the Midtown Spire-nearing completion, Silas's failing body threatens to cost him his empire. He doesn't just need physical therapy; he needs a miracle.
He gets Elena Floros. Once a principal ballerina at the Met, a catastrophic break ended her career in public disgrace. Now, she is the city's most elite, uncompromising kinesiologist. Elena doesn't see a "Titan of Industry"; she sees a terrified man hiding behind bespoke suits, and she demands absolute surrender to fix him.
What begins as a grueling, antagonistic clinical arrangement behind locked doors quickly blurs into a consuming, secret affair. They are two damaged people speaking a shared language of scar tissue, survival, and phantom lightning. But as the pressure to finish the Spire mounts, Silas's hubris pushes him to a dangerous edge.
When a public catastrophe forces Silas to choose between his untouchable legacy and the woman holding him together, he makes a devastating choice. Now, to win her back, Silas will have to tear his life down to the studs. But gravity is an unforgiving mistress, and he must prove that a man made of ruins can still build something made to last.
