A genius in the shadows, an heir in a hurry, and a young woman with nothing to lose.
Philadelphia 1953. Reeling from a broken engagement, Grace Byrne embarks on a journey to search the father she never knew. Instead of a ghost, she finds Joe Kelly, a prickly Korean War veteran working on a mysterious project he claims can change the world.
At twenty-two, Teddy Warriner is the heir to a business empire-in name only. To win his independence and prove he is his father's son, Teddy needs the new technology Joe has invented-and his cousin Grace's unwavering loyalty to keep the project alive.
The war has left Joe Kelly battered in body and spirit. When a chance encounter with Grace Byrne offers the opportunity to turn his dream into reality, he learns the hardest battle isn't on the front lines-it's the one he's fighting against his own past.
Bound by a shared desire to prove their worth, three unlikely allies risk everything on a future the world can't yet see. But innovation requires more than just a bright spark. It requires the strength to stand in the fire of change. Will their gamble pay off-or will the spark they've created be the thing that burns it all down?
