The Architect's Ascent In the glittering skyline of Westvale City, ambition reigns supreme, and Celeste is ready to claim her place among the greats. A junior architect with a passion for sustainable design, Celeste Sharma has spent her life fighting to prove herself in a male-dominated industry. But at Stern Architecture & Design, her talents are stifled by an overbearing boss and a cutthroat culture that threatens to overshadow her dreams. When a chance to redefine her career arises through the prestigious Genesis Initiative-a groundbreaking competition to design an eco-village in the heart of the Amazon- Celeste Sharma's path collides with that of Dominic Westley, her brilliant but infuriating university rival. Their fiery history and competitive sparks reignite as they face off in a high-stakes battle of ideas. But beneath Dominic Westley's arrogance lies a complex man with secrets of his own, and as their professional rivalry deepens, so does a connection neither of them expected. As Celeste Sharma fights to bring her vision to life, she uncovers hidden truths about her family and mentor that challenge her understanding of sacrifice, ambition, and resilience. With the odds stacked against her, Celeste Sharma must navigate betrayal, personal loss, and the ever-present glass ceiling to carve out her legacy. The Architect's Ascent is a story of love, empowerment, and the courage to build something extraordinary-both in the world and within oneself.
