Wren Calloway has spent her whole life invisible - a foster kid turned seamstress, mending other people's fortunes one stitch at a time while her own unravel. Then a stranger's will hands her a single bolt of antique silk and seven words that will destroy everything she thinks she knows: everything you need is already in your hands. The silk belonged to Eleanor Ashworth, textile matriarch, dead in a fall the family insists was an accident.
Hidden in its lining is a ledger that says otherwise - and a bloodline that says Wren isn't a stranger to the Ashworths at all. As she's pulled from a mending shop on Millbrook Row into a glass tower of old money and older lies, the one man assigned to expose her as a fraud, cold, watchful security chief Julian Voss, becomes the only person she can trust with the truth. Together they unravel a cover-up that reaches from a hidden mill floor to the top of a shareholder vote that could erase every shred of evidence Eleanor died to protect.
Every answer Wren finds costs her something. Every truth she keeps binds her closer to a man with his own impossible loyalties. Somewhere between the silk and the lies is the fortune, the family, and the love she never let herself want.
