Eli has learned to live quietly, keeping his thoughts folded and his presence gentle. M has mastered avoidance, hiding what he feels in the spaces between routine and reflection. Yet, through letters left on a city rooftop, they begin to share what neither dares to speak aloud. Every note carries a piece of longing, every silence stretches with meaning. Together, they navigate the fragile territory of trust, fear, and the desire to be seen. Rooftops, stairwells, and small gestures become the backdrop for a tentative connection that is as real as it is ephemeral. *The Rooftop Letters* is a tender story of quiet courage, the power of observation, and the small, intimate ways two people can reach each other across space and hesitation.

He believed I was his. He had no idea I had come to destroy him. The firelight caught in Edward Fraser’s eyes, turning them to molten gold. He leaned back in his chair, studying me like I was a puzzle he wanted to take apart slowly. “You’re not afraid of me,” he said, voice low, certain. I met his gaze, refusing to blink. “Should I be?” His mouth curved just enough to make my chest tighten. “Most people are.” “I’m not most people,” I smirked. He reached for the decanter, poured a slow measure of whisky, and slid the glass toward me. His fingers brushed mine deliberately, lingering a fraction too long, and the contact jolted through me like heat. “Careful,” he murmured. “You keep looking at me like that, and I’ll start thinking you want something from me.” I took a sip, ignoring the way my pulse kicked. “Maybe I do.” If he knew the truth that I’d come here to destroy him, that every smile was a calculated move, he’d have thrown me out long ago. But instead, he kept leaning closer, letting the air between us tighten until it was hard to breathe. We crossed paths in narrow hallways, shoulders brushing. His gaze would drop to my mouth before he looked away. And every time, I told myself it meant nothing. But the truth was in the pull between us, inevitable, dangerous, impossible to resist. He wasn’t the heartless monster I’d imagined, and I was starting to wonder if the real danger wasn’t what I’d do to him but what he was already doing to me. ******************************************************************** For nearly twenty years, I had lived for one purpose: to annihilate the man I blamed for my parents’ deaths. Edward Fraser, Scotland’s most powerful billionaire, ruthless master of an empire, and the untouchable lord of the estate where my life had burned to ash. By thirty, and already a rising star in corporate law, I had finally gotten my chance. When Edward hired me to handle a secret, high-stakes property deal deep in the Scottish Highlands, I walked straight into the lion’s den with a polished smile and a weaponized plan: get in, get close, gather proof, and destroy him. But the closer I got, the more the truth twisted into something dangerous. Edward wasn’t the merciless villain I remembered. He was guarded yet magnetic, his quiet voice laced with power, his solitude a silent wound. And, worst of all, he trusted me. Every stolen glance across a firelit room, every brush of fingertips, every unguarded moment chipped away at my resolve. The man I had vowed to ruin might not have been the monster I’d built in my mind, and wanting him might have been the most dangerous betrayal of all. Could we survive the love growing between us, or would the final truth break us?
