Overview

When a cynical nanotechnology genius and a defiant historian collide at a Washington D.C. gala, they're thrown into a deadly conspiracy that spans from ancient Rome to modern-day Istanbul. Dr. Aris Thorne doesn't do trust. After a catastrophic failure cost her colleagues their lives, the brilliant scientist has built walls higher than the Brutalist buildings she works in. Cold, controlled, and lethally competent, she views human connection as nothing more than a structural weakness waiting to fail. Casey Rhodes doesn't do passive. A historian who sees the layers beneath every surface, she's spent her life observing stories rather than living them. But when a brush pass gone wrong leaves her holding a deadly secret, she refuses to be anyone's collateral damage. The Concrete Bloodline is a white-knuckle sapphic romance featuring grumpy/sunshine dynamics, forced proximity, and an alpha female who's terrifying to enemies and devastatingly tender to her person.
