Still haunted by the past, Architect Quinn Madrigal returns home to take the reins of her late father's company. But the real test isn't business-It's Alexis Chavez, the sharp-minded Engineer and the woman she never truly got over, now working right beside her. When a family crisis forces them to pretend their love is not dead, old wounds resurface and dangerous sparks reignite. What starts as pretense turns into something far more fragile as they uncover layers of sabotage, betrayal, and a murder that shattered them both.
As the women navigate corporate wars, family secrets, and the ghosts of their past, they're drawn back to the one place that holds every answer--the penthouse where it all began.
Because some truths don't stay buried.
Some stories don't end -- they resurrect.
