Laying His Claim: The Protectors (Silhouette Desire)
Trent Winston had spent years trying to forget the only woman he'd ever loved and the tragedy that had torn their world apart. But now she was back in town, stirring up unwanted memories and unwelcome desires—and demanding that he help her find the child he'd thought was lost forever.... Kate Malone was a very different woman now—strong and independent, but with the same innocent sensuality he remembered all too well. And the more time Trent spent with her, the more he ached to reclaim everything that had once been his—starting with her.
The historic Fine Arts Building, a wood-framed structure designed by Louis Kamper in 1905 is mostly demolished at time of writing. This 7-story structure at 44 W. Adams is being demolished except for its facade, which is being preserved for future use. Ilitch Holdings Inc., the owner of the building has received a state grant to demolish the building after acquiring it as a working building in 1988. 21 years of water filtering in from rooftop skylights due to demolition by neglect is the reason for the interior's sad state.
Presented is one last look at the building.
