Weight Of Her Wings

Seraphina Vale has built her life on perfection—flawless designs, flawless reputation, flawless control. But when a public scandal threatens to destroy her fashion empire, she retreats to the one place she's avoided for years: her late mother's art studio, a dusty sanctuary filled with memories she never learned how to face. She expects silence. She expects ghosts.She does not expect Noah Reyes.Noah is everything Seraphina isn't—grounded, patient, and living a lower‑middle‑class life held together by grit instead of glamour. Hired to restore the studio, he sees through her polished armor with disarming ease. Where others see a headline, he sees a woman carrying too much weight on wings that were never meant to hold it alone. As the renovation deepens, so does their connection. Noah becomes the one person Seraphina can't hide from, and the studio becomes the place where she finally lets herself break. But when her board demands answers and her world threatens to collapse, Seraphina must decide whether she'll return to the life that's crushing her—or fight for the man who's teaching her how to breathe again.
