Venom Beneath Silk.

By day, she is grace wrapped in innocence.
By night, she is a weapon no one survives.

Roxanne Adams-known in the underworld as The Golden Thorn-is beautiful, brilliant, and deadly. Once a legendary assassin, she now serves as both lover and right hand to Gabriel Winter, one of the most feared crime lords in the city. When a powerful billionaire betrays Gabriel and refuses to pay his dues, Roxanne is given a single mission: trap him, break him, and deliver him alive.

Disguised as the soft-spoken and harmless Nancy Grey, Roxanne slips into William Jackson's world as his secretary. With calculated smiles, gentle words, and a carefully crafted illusion of innocence, she weaves a seductive web around a man blinded by greed, arrogance, and desire.

But beneath silk lies venom.

As deception tightens and lust clouds judgment, William walks willingly into a trap designed with ruthless precision. What he believes is love is nothing more than a beautifully executed lie-and when the mask finally falls, there is no escape.

A dark crime thriller filled with manipulation, power, seduction, and betrayal, Venom Beneath Silk explores how beauty can be a weapon, innocence can be an illusion, and the most dangerous thorns are the ones you never see coming.
