Reid Blackwood has spent five years believing silence was protection.
Precise, controlled, and impossible to read, Reid built his life around order, responsibility, and the Blackwood legacy. But when a restoration project in old Edinburgh brings him face-to-face with Dr Paige Hawthorne, the historian he never forgot, the past refuses to remain archived.
Paige came to Edinburgh for the building. The records, the architecture, the truth hidden in old rooms and older documents. She did not come for Reid Blackwood, or for the unfinished tension that has followed them since Glasgow five years ago.
But the building holds more than property records.
An 1847 partnership. A family legacy. A buried decision. A secret Reid kept because he thought knowing would hurt her. Now, as old documents reveal the truth behind the Blackwood estate and a development company threatens the future of the restored building, Reid and Paige must decide whether the past is something to preserve, repair, or finally face.
Their connection is quiet, precise, and dangerous in its honesty.
Because Reid does not love loudly.
He loves by remembering.
By protecting.
By staying.
And this time, Paige will not accept silence in place of truth.
Blackwood: Reid is Book Three in the Ruthless Empire series, a billionaire romantic suspense novel with second chance romance, family secrets, emotional restraint, legacy property drama, and a powerful Blackwood hero who learns that love cannot survive unless it is told the truth.
