Blueprint The Foundation, Book 1, (Paperback)

<p><strong>I bought a crumbling Victorian mansion to escape my past. I didn't expect the grumpiest contractor in existence to move in-or to claim me as his own.</strong></p><p> </p><p><strong>Layla Chen</strong> is running.</p><p>After escaping a dangerous, obsessive ex, she pools her life savings with three strangers to buy a foreclosed Victorian mansion in the middle of nowhere. The plan? Renovate it, sell it, and vanish.</p><p>The reality? The house is a death trap. The roof is leaking, the wiring is explosive, and Layla is out of money, out of options, and terrified she's been found.</p><p><strong>Silas Crane</strong> is a man who fixes things.</p><p>He's six-foot-four of scarred muscle, flannel, and bad attitude. He doesn't do charity. But when he finds Layla nearly electrocuting herself in a flooded basement, he makes her an offer she can't refuse: </p><p>He and his crew will fix the house for free.</p><p>In exchange, they move in.</p><p>Now, he's everywhere.</p><p>Sleeping in the room next to hers. Taking the door off the hinges so he can hear her breathe. Watching her with dark, possessive eyes that make her knees weak.</p><p>Silas isn't just fixing the walls. He's dismantling Layla's defenses. He establishes rules. He demands her obedience. And he promises to keep her safe.</p><p>But when Layla's past finally tracks her down, Silas proves that he's not just a contractor. He's a protector. And he'll burn the world down to keep what's his.</p><p><strong>The Foundation</strong> is a full-length contemporary romance with a "Touch Her and Die" hero, a found family of four chaotic women, and high-heat "Good Girl" themes. It is the first book in the Fractal Enigma series.</p>
