"The summer was the gift. Don't ruin it by asking for the rest of the year."
June Voss lives a life of calculated coordinates. In her penthouse at Nexus Point, the world is quiet, filtered, and-most importantly-predictable. For a woman who cannot recognize a human face, predictability is the only fortress she has.
Then comes Alexander Sinclair.
A twenty-two-year-old architecture graduate with a cello-deep voice and a restless energy, Alexander is a "high-quality disruption." He doesn't see a recluse; he sees a mystery. He doesn't see a medical handicap; he sees a woman who moves with the precision of a blueprint.
Their arrangement is simple: a summer fling. No strings. No emotional obligations. No long-distance promises for a person June's brain is designed to forget.
But as the August heat peaks and the Sinclair jet prepares to leave, the "no-strings" rule begins to fray. Alexander is done being a guest, and June is realizing that some glitches are meant to become the architecture of a new life.
Set in the lush, overgrown silence of a town that time forgot, Veridian Springs is an intimate slow-burn romance about the cost of control and the terrifying beauty of finally being seen.
