She is the irritation that turns his heart inside out. Sharp, gorgeous, and skeptical, Grayson Wu is a top-notch architect who has built impenetrable walls around his unstable heart due to a betrayal he can't soon forget. When an irritatingly beautiful woman threatens his foundation, he struggles to let her break down his barrier. Determined, elegant, and versatile, Natalie Chapelle has courageously taken a city job well below her pay grade to save her family's legacy. Though adaptable, she finds it hard to work with the arrogant and innovative designer who makes her want and hate him at the same time. When the tension between them snaps, she is tossed into his complex world, revealing more than she expected. A man with more depth than the sea. A mind more brilliant than the sun. A lover more skillful than a surgeon. As their romance builds, danger and dark secrets unfold that drive Grayson to sacrifice his heart in order to save the woman he loves. The Innovator is an enemies-to-lovers, hidden identity, forced proximity, billionaire hero, and a suspenseful contemporary romance. It is Book Three in the WaterFyre Rising series but can be read as a standalone.
