The world knows Soraya Voss.
The face of luxury, the name on every magazine cover, the goddess of the runway.
Flawless. Untouchable. Desired.
But behind the cameras and the glittering lights, Soraya is breaking. Starved into perfection, pushed past exhaustion, her life belongs to the industry that created her - and to the manager who reminds her daily that beauty is nothing without obedience.
Until the call.
A stranger's voice slips into her life, velvet and venom. He knows her secrets, her hunger, her fear. He sees the woman beneath the glass cage of fame - and he promises freedom. But in a world where every look is a performance and every step is controlled, trust is the most dangerous risk of all.
Is he her salvation... or her ruin?
In the neon-lit shadows of fame, Soraya will discover that perfection has a price - and someone is ready to make her pay it.
