In Blackridge Falls, power isn't given it's taken.

Eighteen-year-old Sloane Sinclair has always known her place among the town's elite. The daughter of a famed real estate lawyer and a world-renowned ballerina, she was raised in the spotlight, taught to smile for the cameras and never let anyone see her bleed.

But when the Ashbys-the most private and feared family in Blackridge-step out of the shadows to partner with the Sinclairs, Sloane finds herself caught in the orbit of their cold, unreadable heir: Nikolai Ashby. He's not charming, not kind, and not even pretending to like her. In fact, the first time they meet, he calls her "just leverage."

Sloane should hate him. She should focus on her perfect boyfriend, Theo Reyes, and ignore Nikolai's quiet dominance over every room he walks into. But the more she sees him-the calculated glances, the rare smirks, the dangerous alliances-the more she begins to wonder:

Who is Nikolai Ashby?
Why are his family so secretive?
And why does her heart race when he's near, even as he claims he doesn't want her?

As tensions between the town's most powerful families grow, Sloane is pulled into a game of obsession, betrayal, and survival where love feels like a weapon, and trust could cost her everything.

In Blackridge Falls, nothing is just business.
And everyone is leverage.

Twisted Hatred Fallon Gates was born with everything-money, beauty, and a last name that opened every door in the city. When her father steps down, she becomes the youngest female CEO of Gates Enterprises, ready to prove she's more than just another spoiled heiress. But in the world of power and luxury, enemies hide behind perfect smiles-and none are more dangerous than Dante Russo. Dante built his empire from the ground up. Ruthless. Calculating. Untouchable. His company sits right next to hers, and his smirk feels like a challenge she can't ignore. Fallon knows there's something dark pulsing beneath his polished exterior-illegal deals, secret ties, and maybe even blood on his hands. But the closer she gets to exposing him, the more she realizes she might be the one being played. Every move she makes, he's already predicted. Every secret she uncovers ties her tighter to him. And when the line between hatred and hunger starts to blur, Fallon finds herself trapped in a dangerous game where winning could mean losing everything-including her heart. Because in a world built on lies and legacy... Love might be the deadliest sin of all.
