A Thorn for the King

Set in a lush, dark world that blends modern power with historical elegance, Tangled in Velvet follows Lexi, a woman sent into a dangerous empire of shadows and silk. What begins as a mission quickly unravels into something far more twisted and intimate when she comes face to face with Midas-a powerful, commanding figure who rules his world with ruthless control and unnerving calm. From the moment they meet, the tension between them is electric, crackling with obsession, hate, and a desire that neither can resist. As Lexi's resolve begins to crack under Midas's touch, she's torn between the person she was and the one he's awakening in her. Bound by secrets, betrayal, and undeniable heat, their connection deepens in stolen moments, in card games turned power plays and encounters that blur the line between dominance and devotion. Around them, danger simmers-Midas's fiercely loyal bodyguards, Nikolai and Damien, keep enemies at bay, while Lexi's best friend Jasmin hides her own secrets, her loyalty wavering as she's drawn into an unexpected, forbidden attraction with Nikolai. As emotions tighten and loyalties shift, Lexi must decide if surrendering to Midas will destroy her-or set her free.
