A woman from a broken family who grew up lacking care, known for being a troublemaker and always getting into fights,that's how people always see her. She loves breaking rules, starting trouble, and making a mess wherever she goes. It's her way of coping, of fighting against a world that never seemed to want her in the first place. Her grandfather despises her, her father barely acknowledges her, and the only love she truly holds onto is from her mother who works overseas, too far away to wipe her tears or calm her storms.
She never wanted to live in the Clayton mansion, the home of her father's new family. But at his request, she moved in, hoping just for once that he'd finally see her, finally choose her. Instead, she's just a shadow in a house that was never meant for her, a reminder of a past her father tries to forget.
Will she ever be more than an outsider in her own family? Will they ever accept her, or will she always be the unwanted piece that doesn't fit?
He was her first heartbreak. She was his only weakness.
Years after a teenage betrayal that burned them both, childhood neighbors Selena Liu and Caspian Hayes reunite under false pretenses-she's hired by his mother to pose as his girlfriend for a wedding weekend from hell.
But Selena isn't just anyone-she's the owner of Velvet Vice, a high-end companion agency built on power, performance, and control. And Caspian? He's the CEO of a prestigious East Coast law firm, dominant in the boardroom... but aching to surrender in the bedroom.
What starts as a public act of affection turns private and explosive-filled with power plays, whispered orders, and a slow-burning hunger neither of them can shake. She falls first. He falls harder. And when the rules blur and the leash tightens, only one thing is certain:
He'll beg to be hers-again, and again, and again.
