Vows in Old Westbury

In a world where intellectual brilliance is the ultimate currency and betrayal is the price of ambition, Eliza Hawthorne has spent five years as the silent architect of another man's genius. But when the lover she built into a legend discards her for a scheming protégé and smears her name in the halls of power, the resilient physicist decides to burn her bridges and start a fire of her own. Caught between the toxic shadow of her past and the protective embrace of a rival who has waited nineteen years to claim her, Eliza must navigate a landscape of fabricated data and social ruin to reclaim her voice, her work, and a love that refuses to follow the rules of physics.
