How to own a heart?

Lena Moore comes to the city to start over.
The city doesn't let people start over.
It collects weaknesses and calls it nightlife.

At Velvet, she meets Sebastian Vale-
equal parts promise and threat,
the kind of man who turns "choice" into a test.

Isla Ravens, Lena's closest friend, sees Vale as a catastrophe.
Still, she walks into the fire with Lena.
Because some dangers don't come alone.

A dark romance of obsession, power games, and blurred boundaries.
Adult tone, intense atmosphere, and suggestive (non-graphic) intimacy.
