Every Wall Between Us

di William Liu (Autore)

William Liu, 2026

She reads walls the way other people read faces. He reads contracts. The church belongs to both of them until November. Adobe conservator Maren Tafoya knows exactly what is killing San Lázaro, the two-hundred-year-old mission church above Rito Hondo: gray cement stucco, slapped on in the eighties, sealing water into the walls. Fixing it means taking the cement off, one cold spot at a time, with mud, straw and her grandmother's methods. Then the foundation's project manager arrives with a clipboard, a deadline and a very different plan. Arturo Salazar wants the restoration finished, inspected and signed off before the first of November, and he has no patience for a conservator who talks to the walls. Worse, the only lodging in town during Balloon Fiesta season is a casita with two keys and one bathroom. Between the cold spots, the ravens, a suspicious church caretaker and her loyal dog, Maren and Arturo are forced into the kind of closeness that makes rivals reconsider. But an old report with a familiar handwriting, a signature that should not be there, and a buried acequia are about to prove that somebody has been hiding what really happened to San Lázaro for forty years. Every Wall Between Us is a slow-burn, closed-door contemporary romance set in the high desert of northern New Mexico: enemies to lovers, forced proximity, small-town warmth, and a love story built the way adobe is, one patient layer at a time. If you love rivals who see each other too clearly, a setting you can smell, and an ending that earns every sigh, step inside.
