Being unattractive was not an option; neither was being poor. She was tired of living small and vowed to claw her way to the top, using whatever tools she had: wit, ambition, and relationships. Navigating a world where beauty opens doors, Ava learns to sharpen her edges, turning herself into the woman men desire but never see coming. But as she rises higher, the stakes become deadlier. When you play with hearts and fortune, sometimes the only thing left to lose is yourself. Will Ava's hunger for the good life bring her everything she's ever wanted, or will it destroy her before she reaches the top?
