Velvet Cage
Genre: Psychological Dark Romance
Setting: Modern-day New York City - a world of luxury, art, and shadows hidden beneath power and perfection.
Aria Vale hasn't slept in years.
An insomniac art curator haunted by the disappearance of her twin sister, she lives in a world of galleries and ghosted memories - until a midnight exhibition brings her face-to-face with a man who shouldn't exist.
Lucien D'Artois is a collector of rare art... and rarer souls.
Powerful, elusive, and dangerously composed, he offers Aria what she's been chasing all her life - answers. But his invitation into The Gilded Frame, a secret world where beauty and obsession blur, comes with a price: her trust, her control, and maybe her sanity.
As Aria delves deeper into Lucien's orbit, she finds herself caught between truth and temptation, love and manipulation. Every painting hides a confession. Every touch feels like a test. And somewhere beneath the gilded surface lies the key to her sister's fate - and to her own.
In the game of art and desire, nothing is accidental.
And every cage is lined with velvet.
