In the city that never sleeps, love isn't a cure - it's a curse. Aurelia Vale is a gifted art restorer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, haunted by the unsolved disappearance of her mother - a painter whose final collection vanished into the black market. When Aurelia is assigned to authenticate a long-lost piece from that same collection, she discovers that its mysterious buyer is Cael Draven - a reclusive billionaire with ties to New York's most dangerous underground network. Cael built his empire on secrets, sin, and silence. But when Aurelia steps into his world, she doesn't just threaten his control - she reminds him of everything he's tried to bury. Her fire awakens something lethal in him: a need to possess, to protect, to destroy. What starts as a professional transaction turns into a dangerous obsession - one that could unearth the truth about Aurelia's past and ignite a war Cael has spent years trying to prevent. Their love is magnetic, toxic, inevitable - and it might just burn the entire city down.
