Some rooms are built to keep things out. She would know - she built one around her own heart six years ago.
Mara Soler listens to rooms for a living. Concert halls, libraries, the quiet spaces where people come to think - she's the one who makes them work. She knows exactly how to build something that holds silence and gives nothing away.
She's been living inside one since Lucas died.
When a library project brings her to Barcelona and into the orbit of architect Nico Vitale, Mara expects another commission. What she gets is the one person who can hear what's underneath her silence - because he's spent his whole life performing a version of himself so convincing that she's the first to notice there's someone hiding behind it.
Two people. Two carefully constructed defenses. One reading room, built across seven months, designed to hold exactly the kind of quiet they've both been using to keep the world at a safe distance.
This is a love story about being heard. About grief, and the slow brave work of letting someone in after you've sworn you never would again.
A heartfelt and engaging read that stayed with me after I finished the last chapter. - reader review of the Every City Series
For fans of Carley Fortune, Tia Williams, and Taylor Jenkins Reid - a quiet, deeply emotional slow burn set across Barcelona, San Francisco, and the Catalan countryside.
Book Three of the Every City Series.
