In the glittering city of Laquienne, beauty and danger walk hand in hand. Behind jeweled masks and velvet gowns lies a world of whispers, betrayal, and power-where every smile hides a dagger and every dance step conceals a threat.
William, the fox in velvet, is the city's golden darling. Adored by nobles, feared by rivals, he weaves influence with charm and silk, wrapping Laquienne around his graceful fingers.
Est, the serpent in shadows, rules the underworld with quiet venom. Where William seduces, Est destroys. Where William blinds with light, Est devours in silence.
They are rivals, opposites, enemies-until fate forces them into a reluctant partnership. Bound by politics and danger, the fox and the serpent must learn to hunt side by side... even as tension twists into something darker, hotter, impossible to deny.
What begins as a war of words becomes a dance of obsession. And when the masks finally fall, velvet and venom will collide in passion as fierce as it is forbidden.
Enemies, partners, lovers-
Their story is not gentle. It is wild, rough, and consuming.
And neither will leave unscarred.
In the dark, they surrendered. In the light, they collided.
Every Saturday night, she trades power for pleasure.
In The Velvet Room, names are forbidden, masks are mandatory, and reality disappears behind silk and shadows. For a few stolen hours, she isn't a ruthless attorney clawing her way to the top-she's simply desire, hunger, need.
Then she meets him: dominant, dangerous, addictive.
They agree-no names. No faces. No strings.
But outside the club, fate has a twisted sense of humor.
He's the one man she can't afford to crave.
The one man who holds her future in his hands.
Because he's not just any stranger...
He's the judge about to preside over her biggest case yet.
Masks will fall. Rules will break.
And the most dangerous sin... will be falling for him.
