When billionaire Adrian Crestwood enters the fading grandeur of the Weatherly estate for business, he expects nothing more than another acquisition. What he finds instead is Elena—Gregory Weatherly’s quiet, mistreated stepdaughter who hides behind classic novels and silence. Nineteen and invisible in her own home, Elena has long accepted a life without warmth, love, or freedom. But Adrian sees her. And when two lonely souls begin to connect over books, loss, and courage, a forbidden romance begins to bloom. As tensions rise and secrets surface, Adrian and Elena must defy the walls built around them—of class, power, and fear—to choose each other. Heartfelt, poignant, and filled with hope, Beneath the Marble Walls is a contemporary love story about finding light in the darkest of places and the courage to walk toward it.
