Three successful women. Three childhood wounds. And secrets that refuse to stay buried. At thirty-five, Anaya Roy seems to have everything—an award-winning career, her own architecture firm, financial independence, and two fiercely loyal best friends. What no one sees is why she designs every building with clear exits, open sightlines, and spaces where no one can be trapped. Twenty-six years ago, someone her family trusted taught nine-year-old Anaya that even a familiar touch could become dangerous. She survived by building walls no one could see—until one innocent touch at the biggest professional moment of her life brings her carefully controlled world crashing down. Her best friends are hiding wounds of their own. Nadine Ekane, a formidable corporate lawyer who refuses to depend on anyone, tells everyone both her parents are dead. Only one of them is. Liya Mbarga, a brilliant commercial director desperate to finally find lasting love, grew up mourning a father she was told had died. But the truth about his disappearance may change everything she believes about herself, her mother, and love. As buried family secrets surface and the women's relationships begin testing the defenses that once protected them, their friendship faces its greatest test: Can they tell each other the truth without losing one another?
