Roots of Glass: He's the Architect of Ice. She's the wildfire he never saw coming.
He believes in algorithms. She believes in roots. In a New York where glass hides deadly secrets, who will shatter first?
In the ruthless Manhattan of 2026, Ethan Vance rules an empire of glass with the precision of a machine. Cold, untouchable, and brilliant, he designs cities for the future but lives isolated on the 64th floor of his tower, protected by security systems no one dares to challenge. For Ethan, absolute control is his only shield against the chaos of the world.
Until Maya Bellini walks through his doors.
Sun-drenched, bold, and possessing a courage that defies logic, Maya isn't just the new assistant sent to contain the CEO's legendary temper. She is a plant with a desperate mission: to save her family's historic Italian vineyard from being demolished by the very company Ethan leads.
Maya has the perfect plan. She should hate him. She should take him down. But between electricity-charged confrontations and coffee brewed with passion, she discovers that behind the ice statue lies a man with deep scars and a misunderstood genius.
When a security breach locks them in a world of glass where corporate rules no longer apply, Ethan's defenses begin to crack. But truth is the most expensive commodity in Manhattan, and Maya's secret is one step away from being exposed by an enemy watching from the shadows.
In a game of industrial espionage and forbidden desire, they will discover that the strongest structure in the world isn't steel?it's the bond that forms when the ice finally meets the sun.
How far would you go to save your roots? And what would you do if your greatest enemy became your only sanctuary?
