Elegant Fever

"Iris."

I lift my eyes at the sound of my name. He never said it so ravenous, like he couldnt wait to dive in. I wanted him, more than I could give or let slip enough to grasp - to hold.

"Keep those beautiful eyes on me. Don't even think about turning away or I'll never let you leave this room."

Iris Winston inherited the Winston Co., a company for new jewelry designs that can only be sold with her signature. She was stuck between fleeing the country or staying to pick up her mother's loose pieces. Twenty-four years beneath her watchful eye landed her in the path of wealthy fame. Now, as one of the top five highest sold brands in America branches off in other countries, she can't help but feel pressured.

Two years past since her last relationship. Knowing the world could see her so drained put a dent in the way she feels about dating. That is, until she meets...him.

Kaisen Greer focuses strictly on his work ethics. The company he owns tops the charts, just one spot above hers. She isn't sure how to feel about it considering the soon to be collab forming over the course of just two months.

Upcoming promotion leads to a getaway trip, a cruise to the Bahamas. Iris isn't one to vacay, but her collab partner convinces her otherwise. She and Kaisen will have to work together and running into each other during this trip seems more coincidental. As they grow fonder of the other's presence, Iris begins to wonder where the old her disappeared and why the passion between them grows spicier than she can handle.
