A glass canyon. A terminal diagnosis. A deal she never saw coming.
Victoria Sterling is the "London Shark"-a high-stakes corporate closer who lives for the skyline and the win. But when a shock medical diagnosis and a betrayal at her firm leave her with nothing but a crumbling inheritance on the Cornish coast, she expects to spend her final days in a ruin.
Larkspur Cottage is more than a wreck; it's a graveyard of secrets. To restore it, Victoria must rely on Will Carne, a widowed local electrician who knows the weight of grief and the cost of keeping the lights on. Will has no time for "London suits," and Victoria has no idea how to live a life that isn't measured in billable hours.
As the salt-air clears the smog from her lungs, Victoria uncovers a legacy that ties her bloodline to the very foundations of the village. From the cutthroat boardrooms of London to the storm-lashed quays of Porthmellow, Victoria must decide if she is willing to close the most important deal of her life: trading a world of glass for a home built on granite.
In the darkness of the "fade," Victoria is about to find out that sometimes you have to break the circuit to find the light.
