The House We Inherited

When Elena inherits her estranged grandmother’s crumbling estate, the last thing she expects to find is a co-owner. Sloane, the sharp-tongued architect tasked with renovating the property, is everything Elena isn't: rigid, meticulous, and infuriatingly dismissive of the memories held within these walls. Forced to live under the same roof to settle the estate, the air between them crackles with a tension that has nothing to do with the renovations and everything to do with the undeniable spark they are both trying to ignore. As they peel back layers of peeling wallpaper and long-buried family secrets, the animosity that once defined their relationship begins to shift into something far more dangerous. Beneath the surface of their bickering lies a shared landscape of grief and the realization that they are both running from the same ghosts. What starts as a battle over blueprints quickly transforms into a high-stakes search for the truth about the past. In a house that refuses to keep its secrets, Elena and Sloane must decide if they are willing to tear down their own walls to build a future together. This is a gripping, heart-wrenching story of healing, unexpected attraction, and finding home in the most unlikely person.
