Dahlia Fernandez came to New York with nothing but a sketchbook, a dream, and a stubborn refusal to bend. Between juggling rent, part-time jobs, and the cutthroat world of fashion, she doesn't have time for entitled billionaires in flawless suits.
Especially not Nicholas Russo.
Cold, untouchable, and dangerously powerful, the CEO of Russo International lives by one rule-control everything, feel nothing. His world is polished marble and sharp edges, and there's no room in it for chaos.
Until Dahlia crashes into his life-spilling champagne, shattering his composure, and refusing to cower the way everyone else does.
She is warmth to his ice, fire to his restraint.
And the more he tries to push her away, the deeper she carves her place beneath his skin.
But pride is a dangerous thing. In Nicholas's world, vulnerability is weakness... and Dahlia's heart may be the one canvas he's not ready to ruin.
