Raised in the shadow of her mother's tragic life-a life defined by mediocrity, poverty, and a mysterious boating accident-Ava vowed she would escape the same fate.

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.
