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.
