This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
For forty years, Damon Steele was the face of perfection. Known to the world as the "Steele Ideal," he was the industry standard for masculine beauty. But now, at sixty-two, the cameras have stopped flashing. The contracts have dried up. And Damon is left confronting a reflection he can no longer airbrush.
Suffocating under the weight of a legacy he can no longer maintain, and battling the private humiliation of a body that feels like it is turning to stone, Damon retreats to his childhood home of Oakhaven. His plan is clinical and cold: renovate the crumbling Victorian estate, sell off the ghosts of his past, and vanish into the shadows.
He didn't account for Vonda Kincaid.
The girl next door has grown into a formidable Tech CEO, and she is the only person on earth who refuses to be dazzled by the "Silver Fox" persona. To Vonda, he isn't a global brand; he is just Danny, the boy with the hole in his sneaker and the laugh that once reached his eyes.
When a brutal rainstorm traps them together in the freezing, dilapidated house, the perfect façade begins to crack. Stripped of his products, his filters, and his secrets, Damon is forced to confront the truth he has been running from.
As the walls of Oakhaven are stripped down to the studs, the walls around Damon's heart begin to fracture. But can a man who built his life on surface-level perfection learn to trust the messy, aging, beautiful reality of the man underneath?
RESTORING STEELE is a steamy, emotional later-in-life romance about the courage it takes to rebuild when the world thinks you are finished.
