Smoke on Silk

At 34, Yoko Apasra has built a life people envy. From a small Texas town to Manhattan's high society, she created herself with precision - elegant, powerful and untouchable. As the owner of "House of Apasra", one of the city's most prestigious galleries, she is surrounded by wealth, influence and desire. But after being betrayed years ago, Yoko keeps people at a careful distance. She takes what she wants - attention, intimacy, distraction - and never enough to lose control.

Then she meets Faye Malisorn.

At 27, Faye is everything Yoko's world isn't - grounded, honest and entirely unaffected by status or power. A firefighter with soot still clinging to her hands after long shifts, quiet confidence and a sharp wit that catches people off guard.

Yoko can't stop thinking about her.

But while Yoko finds herself drawn closer and closer, Faye keeps her distance. Not because she doesn't want her - but because her past taught her how dangerous trust can become in the wrong hands.

Two completely different worlds.
Two women shaped by pain.
And both about to test every promise they ever made to themselves.
