Before the Walls
Ryan Moore
When architecture demands precision, but the heart craves chaos…
Thirty-eight-year-old Gabriel Hastings has built his life on discipline, distance, and steel—literally. As one of New York’s most sought-after architects, he’s mastered the art of control—until Jake Morrison, a dangerously persuasive developer, disrupts everything.
What starts as professional tension on a high-profile skyscraper project soon escalates into something far more intimate and volatile. Gabriel’s rigid world begins to crack as Jake pushes past every barrier—both structural and emotional. But when the project nears completion and buried motives come to light, Gabriel must confront the hardest blueprint of one for trust.
