THORNS & VELVET

"He's the masterpiece everyone wants to own. She's the only one who knows how he's falling apart at the seams."

Julian Elliott is the undisputed king of the modern rock scene-a tattooed, silver-tongued disaster in a leather jacket who is as famous for his erratic behavior as he is for his haunting vocals. When he fires his fifth stylist in a month during a high-stakes world tour, his label issues an ultimatum: find someone who can handle his ego, or the tour is canceled.

Sloane is a rising star in the fashion world with a sharp eye for detail and an even sharper tongue. She doesn't care about Julian's platinum records or the way he looks under stage lights; she cares about hemlines, silhouettes, and the fact that her studio is one month away from bankruptcy. To her, Julian is just another "rich boy" project-an annoying, arrogant bad boy whose lifestyle is a tabloid cliché.

But Julian didn't hire Sloane for her portfolio. He hired her because, for the first time in his life, someone looked at him and didn't see a god-they saw a man who needed to be put back together.

As the tour moves from the rainy streets of London to the rooftops of Paris, the lines between professional and personal begin to fray. Between late-night fittings, the hum of electric guitars, and the secrets hidden beneath Julian's ink, Sloane realizes that the "annoying rockstar" is a carefully crafted mask. And Julian realizes that the girl with the measuring tape is the only person who can truly see him.

In a world of fast fashion and temporary fame, can two people made of thorns and velvet find something that actually lasts?
