The Panama Lock Kiss
Six years ago, architect Mara Senn lost the man she was going to marry to a silence she never understood. Now she's back in Panama City to win the most important bid of her career—a waterfront transit museum built around the canal's history and open to everyone—and Julian Cross is already in the room, seated across the table as the logistics consultant she didn't know she'd be sharing the project with. Julian left to bury a secret that could have destroyed his family. He never stopped watching Mara's work from a distance, never stopped knowing he owed her the truth. The problem is that truth doesn't undo six years, and a corrupt donor with money to burn is already trying to turn their joint proposal into a private luxury pavilion that would gut everything the museum is supposed to be. They have one week, one honest design, and a past that refuses to stay professional. THE PANAMA LOCK KISS is a sleek, emotionally charged second-chance romance set against the architecture and ambition of Panama City. With explicit adult content, dual point of view, and a relationship rebuilt on accountability rather than easy forgiveness, this standalone novel delivers a high-heat story for readers who want desire with consequence and an HEA that's been earned.
