Dirty Deeds

LaRosa Phoenixe.

Some names are spoken.

Others are protected.

In the highest circles of Paris, reputation is not built-it is preserved. Carefully. Quietly. Permanently.

Behind every polished room is influence. Behind every invitation, negotiation. Behind every family name... a history no one dares question.

LaRosa Phoenixe moves through that world with effortless precision. To most, she is elegance. To the few who matter, she is certainty. She is trusted in rooms where fortunes change hands, alliances are formed, and silence is worth more than truth.

What no one sees is the layer beneath it all.

The coded exchanges.

The disappearing records.

The conversations that never officially happened.

Some people leave footprints.

LaRosa leaves outcomes.

Then there is Peter Vel Cènada.

A man whose name carries weight long before he enters a room. Reserved. Calculated. Untouchable. The kind of man who is always exactly where he needs to be-and never by accident.

Their worlds have never crossed.

Not because they couldn't.

Because they were never supposed to.

But power has a way of pulling the right people toward the wrong truths.

And in a world where identities are carefully maintained, loyalty has a price, and every secret belongs to someone...

the most dangerous discovery either of them will make...

is each other.
